Prairie Hills Girl Scout Council



Welcome to the Prairie Hills Cottage...our home on the Web!




Charter
Prairie Hills Girl Scout Council was chartered by Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. (the largest volunteer organization for girls in the world) to extend membership opportunities to all girls, ages 5-17, in 19 counties of northeast Nebraska.

Mission
To provide programs of enrichment and education for all girls who accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
These programs help prepare girls to meet the challenges of the future by instilling positive values, building leadership skills while developing self confidence all in a non-competitive, all-girl environment.

Membership
Prairie Hills' jurisdiction encompasses rural farms and livestock operations, small towns supported by business and industry, several American Indian reservations, as well as a number of growing Hispanic communities.

Through a strong commitment to pluralism and a flexible delivery system, every girl is welcomed in the Girl Scout Movement.
Prairie Hills' vision is one of valuing individual uniqueness while creating an environment which fosters diversity.
