A Place for Girls serves as the headquarters and program center for the Girl Scout Council of the Colonial Coast. In addition to office and business operations, the facility includes a shop with Girl Scout merchandise and several activity and meeting rooms.

The Outback, a 7 acre nature area, is located behind A Place for Girls. It’s the ideal place to enjoy a hike, get up and moving on the fitness trail, climb the observation tower, canoe, or picnic in one of the four pavilions on the property. The Outback is a designated site on the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail as well as a Lou Henry Hoover Memorial Sanctuary.

Adjacent to A Place for Girls and The Outback is The Lodge, an annex property that provides program space and overnight accommodations, along with an in-ground, salt-water pool and a gaga pit.

Rooms at A Place for Girls, including the space at The Lodge, are open year-round and are also available for outside rentals. View Facility Fees (PDF). Please contact customercare@gsccc.org on any facility or property rental inquiries.

Our Council toggle arrow

We are one of 111 councils chartered by Girl Scouts of the USA, the world’s leading organization dedicated solely to girls, where, in a safe, accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success. In partnership with caring adults, girls develop qualities to serve them all their lives: strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their potential and self-worth.

We serve nearly 7,000 girls throughout southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. With the guidance of more than 4,000 dedicated and trained volunteers, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. From exploring science, technology and the environment to learning about healthy living, anti-bullying and financial literacy, girls are given opportunities to be challenged and learn new skills. Girl Scouting has been helping girls develop personal leadership skills for generations.

Named after Girl Scouts’ Founder, Juliette Gordon Low, whose nickname was Daisy, our SmartFlower uses advanced robotics and automation to track the sun, making up to 40% more energy than traditional stationary solar panels.

Meet Daisy, our SmartFlower!

We're soaking up the sun! Daisy helps to power A Place for Girls as part of our Council’s promise to the environment.
