What is a Girl Scout DreamLab?

This is a showplace of the Girl Scout experience in action. No one helps girls achieve their full potential like Girl Scouts. Everyone is warmly invited to visit, to take some selfies, to record a podcast, do a STEM activity or just hang out. Meet up with some best friends or make some new ones.
