Terrace Park Girl Scout Cabin, also known as the Big Stone Gap Girl Scout Cabin, is a historic Girl Scouts of the United States of America clubhouse at Big Stone Gap, Wise County, Virginia. It was built in 1938 by the National Youth Administration. It is a one-story, five room log building constructed of large, round pine logs. It has a low gable roof and exterior end chimneys constructed of cobblestone. It was used by the Girl Scouts until 1943, after which it was acquired by Big Stone Gap as a rental facility for public events.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
