The first Girl Scout DreamLab in Texas is now open in Flower Mound, said Jennifer Bartkowski, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas.

The DreamLab is a multi-purpose space that supports Girl Scout leadership development and exploration, according to the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas website. It includes a space for hands-on cooking, science, technology, engineering and math activities, a podcast and media studio, a craft area, office space, interactive activity zones and badgework areas, Bartkowski said.

“What we want to do here at the DreamLab is create a place of community, a place of belonging, a place where girls can be their authentic selves and a place where they can find friends and hope and excitement for the future,” Bartkowski said.
