PHOTOS: Girl Scouts opens DreamLab in Albany, GA

The Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia threw a celebration Thursday morning for the grand opening of its second in-state DreamLab at an unlikely location — the Walmart Supercenter on Ledo Road.

Girl Scout DreamLabs are a space evolved to meet potential interests of girls today. It provides an audio soundbooth space, STEM activity lab and areas for girls to collaborate or hang out. Albany’s DreamLab is the first in the country to open inside a Walmart.

Sue Else, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia said the goal is to reach more girls in southwest Georgia, a region that is expansive and spread out geographically.

“This is a large area for us to try to cover,” she said. “We want all girls to have the opportunity to be a girl scout. With three million people walking through this Walmart, so many people will be exposed to girl scouting.”
