It's that wonderful time a year again, when girls everywhere start selling those yummy girl scout cookies .  It's what we all think of when we think of Girl Scouts, but there is so much more to being a Girl Scout that sharing sweet treats with everyone.

Build-A-Bear Workshop Founder and Chief Executive Bear Maxine Clark is a Girl Scout alumna and strongly believes the skills she acquired attributed to her success. “Selling Girl Scout Cookies was one of my first entrepreneurial experiences,” said Clark. “Through my volunteering as a Girl Scout, I learned the importance of giving back and thanks to the mentors I had, I have been able to create a successful business with heart.” 

To celebrate this, Build-a-Bear-Workshop is offering some great new Girl Scout products, such as the new Girl Scouts Thin Mints^® Bear ($15). This bear is inspired by the largest girl-led business in the U.S., where girls learn essential life skills such as goal setting, money management, decision making, people skills and business ethics. 

With this introduction, Build-A-Bear Workshop continues to offer unique Girl Scout inspired products. Last March, the company launched the first ever make-your-own Girl Scouts 100^th Anniversary Bear in honor of the Girl Scouts’ 100^th anniversary. In addition to this special bear, the company offers the following licensed products:

•  Girl Scout Daisy Uniform ($12.50)
