Let $X$ be a topological space. We denote by $\pi_0(X)$ the set of connected components of $X$ and by $\Pi_1(U)$ the fundamental groupoid. In this paper we prove that for good topological spaces the assignments $U\mapsto\pi_0(U)$ and $U\mapsto\Pi_1(U)$ are the terminal cosheaf and costack respectively.
