Las Vegas, NV, September 16, 2026 —
A historic structure that has served as a meeting place for Girl Scout troops since 1943 is slated for demolition, according to city officials. The building, located within Henderson’s Downtown Recreational Center Park, is part of a larger park redevelopment initiative planned by the City of Henderson.
The impending removal of the Girl Scout house marks the end of an era for the organization’s local presence in the area. Sources indicate that the demolition is a component of the city’s broader strategy to modernize and enhance the park facilities. The City of Henderson is overseeing the project, which will see the historic building removed to make way for new developments within the park.
This action is expected to leave Girl Scout troops in Henderson without a dedicated meeting space. The long-standing availability of the house has provided a consistent and accessible venue for troop activities and gatherings. The loss of this dedicated facility raises questions about where local Girl Scout troops will convene for their meetings and activities moving forward.
Details regarding the specific timeline for the demolition were not immediately available. Furthermore, information regarding any alternative meeting arrangements being explored or provided for the affected Girl Scout troops has not been disclosed. The City of Henderson has not yet provided a detailed plan for the park’s redevelopment beyond the removal of the structure.
