Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois Classes

Tinker Swiss Cottage does not provide badges or submit documentation for badges. The classes your scout attends will help them complete the majority of requirements to secure their badges, which will need to be given to the troop leader working with your scout on their badge.
**Please note: There are no physical tickets. Once you purchase your seat, you will be placed onto a reservation form and will need to check in at the Barn upon arrival. ​
