Our Council Shop

Council Shop Update

For many years, our Girl Scout Shops have been special places for girls, volunteers, families, and alumnae; places filled with memories, traditions, excitement, and the beginning of so many Girl Scout adventures. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported our shops and the important role they have played within our council community.

After thoughtful evaluation and careful consideration, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore has made the difficult decision to close our retail store operations. The Toms River Shop will close effective July 31, and the Farmingdale Shop will close effective September 30.

Like many organizations, we continue to evaluate how to best align our resources to support our mission and ensure long-term sustainability. While this decision was not made lightly, it allows us to focus more directly on delivering impactful programs, camp experiences, leadership opportunities, and support for girls across Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

We understand this news may feel emotional for many members of our community. Our shops have been part of countless bridging ceremonies, first uniforms, badge celebrations, and milestone moments over the years. We deeply value the memories created there and the staff and volunteers who helped make each visit feel welcoming and special.

We are also grateful to share that Monica and Kathy will continue with Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore in new roles within the organization. Monica will transition into the role of Assistant Director of Facility Operations, and Kathy will serve as Membership and Recruitment Specialist. We are thankful that their knowledge, care, and commitment to Girl Scouting will continue to support girls and families throughout our council.

While our storefront locations will close, families and volunteers will continue to have convenient access to uniforms, badges, patches, and Girl Scout merchandise through www.girlscoutshop.com. Online purchases continue to support Girl Scouts locally and help provide important funding for programs and experiences serving girls in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. As we prepare for the shop closures, we invite the community to visit the stores over the coming months while supplies last.

Retail Operations:

• Toms River Shop remains open through July

• Farmingdale Shop remains open through September

Store Discount: Begining July 1st all shop items wil be 25% off. In store only, while supplies last. Build-A-Bear is now included in the sale.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support, understanding, and commitment to Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore as we look toward the future together. Thank you for being part of our Girl Scout community.

Build-A-Bear Update

At this time, we no longer host Build-A Bear parties at our facility. However, we do still have Build-A Bear products available for purchase in our Toms River and Farmingdale locations. While supplies last!

Council Shop Pricing Update

Girl Scouts USA has announced a price increase on select retail items, which will begin rolling out in our stores starting August 4, 2025.

To help offset rising processing costs, a 3% convenience fee will be added to all credit and debit card purchases beginning August 18, 2025. Payments made by cash or check are always welcome and will not incur this fee.

We truly appreciate your continued support and understanding as we work to serve our community with care and integrity.
