The East Coast now has its first Girl Scouts Dream Lab, making it the third to open in the nation.

The newly opened dream lab is located in The Shoppes at North Brunswick. More than 13,000 active members of the Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey will have access to it.

"This is the history and legacy of the Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey, always to be at the leading edge of what is transforming Girl Scouts,” said Ginny Hill, CEO of Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey.

"It's a space where Girl Scouts and Troup Leaders can explore, connect and engage with subject matter experts in leadership, entrepreneurship, STEM, outdoor adventures and so much more,” said Bonnie Barczykowski, CEO of Girl Scouts USA.

"I can't wait to see how the upcoming generation of Girl Scouts will make our world a better place starting right here at the Dream Lab,” said Abby Eisner, of Girls Scouts Troop 81608.

The Dream Lab is open Mondays through Saturdays.
