The Girl Scout DreamLab is a cutting-edge space in Greater Grand Rapids designed to strengthen the Girl Scout presence in communities while providing an innovative program experience centered around the Girl Scout pillars of STEAM, Outdoors, Life Skills, and Entrepreneurship.
The Girl Scout DreamLab is designed by Girl Scouts for Girl Scouts and is strategically located to overcome accessibility barriers, making Girl Scouts an attractive destination for both members and new families.
The Grand Opening took place in November 2025, with Girl Scout programming officially launching in January 2026.
Whether you’re eager to learn more about Girl Scouts or already a member, there are weekly and monthly events hosted by GSMISTS Council staff, along with Troop Experiences where Girl Scouts can take the lead in planning their own adventures!
