GSLE DreamLab
Girl Scouts Louisiana East (GSLE) will begin construction of a new
Girl Scout DreamLab later this month near Cabela’s in Gonzales. This
new headquarters is part of a grant pilot program with Girl Scouts of
the USA and will be one of the first two in the nation.
“I am thrilled this project is coming to fruition for our Girl
Scouts,” said Rebecca Pennington, CEO of Girl Scouts Louisiana East.
“As we continue to make our permanent home in Gonzales – the
geographic center of our 23-parish service area – we are keeping our
Girl Scouts in mind as we continue to spread our Movement, building
girls of courage, confidence and character. This space will allow Girl
Scouts to dream big as they go through this experience.”
GSLE is one of only two Girl Scout councils in the U.S. to be
chosen for this pilot program, with the eventual goal of having
similar facilities nationwide. The Girl Scout DreamLab in Gonzales
will provide troop meeting space – both indoors and outdoors,
opportunities for hands-on exploration, and a traditional storefront
for all Girl Scout uniform and resource needs for Girl Scouts from all
around south Louisiana.
The Girl Scout DreamLab
facility will be a space for girls to reach beyond the activities they
may do at home or school – it will be an exclusive Girl Scout space
housed in an easy-to-access, open-to-the-public facility. Girl Scouts
will be able to participate in immersive STEM-related activities while
others will be able to showcase their talents by creating videos and
podcasts, gathering around a faux indoor campfire, and utilizing an
outdoor skills area to learn and practice camping competency.
GSLE plans to begin construction in January with expected
completion some time in the Spring of 2023. More details, including a
grand opening celebration, will be announced at a later date.
