Girl Scout Programs 

Bring your scout troop to the Prairie and live some history! Experience the life of a farmer, a pioneer and an American Indian. Choose among our Prairie Patch program, badge workshops, bunk-ins or special events.

Programs operate rain or shine. Some programs take place outdoors, so dress accordingly. Badge workshops and other special programs do not include a self-guided tour of the historic areas, although admission can be purchased through the Prairie Patch Program.
