Building the place “Where Girls Grow” is the motto for the new Pacific Peaks Council Girl Scout Center in DuPont. The 21,650 sq. ft. facility is the home to Girl Scouts for Southwestern Washington and reflects the Council’s commitment to serve every girl who wants to be a Girl Scout. The $2.6 million facility was completed on a 10-month construction calendar and included development of the 5.19 acre wooded site. The site boasts ample parking. Korsmo Construction and its subcontractors also donated $75,000 of in-kind work.  The two-story building features an administrative wing, a great hall, meeting rooms, a resource computer lab and a retail store.   Adopting a Northwest flavor, the architecture includes exposed beams and a window wall in the great room, peeler poles at the main entrance, interior stained concrete floors and a wood bridge connecting the building to the trail system and campfire area.
