What is a Build-A-Bear Workshop & what it looks like at our council:
The Ocean Service Center Girl Scout Shop is not a full-size Build-A-Bear Workshop. We are a smaller, specialized location featuring Girl Scout-themed bears and accessories, along with a selection of everyday animals and adornments. Our Beary Fun Build-A-Bear space is featured at 1405 Old Freehold Rd., Toms River, NJ 08753.
