Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa announced Monday the sale of their Camp Neyati property, located 14 miles south of Council Bluffs. GSGI has owned the property since 1969, but has not used it since Oct. 1, 2010.
Camp Neyati is made up of 280 acres of natural bluffs and a man-made lake. Who purchased the property and what the land will be used for in the future has not been disclosed as this time.

The other thing that really bothers me is that The Mills County Conservation Board has been fundraising to purchase Camp Neyati. “Jared Getter, board director, said the organization had a number of grant applications out but didn’t raise enough money quickly enough to purchase the land.”

The Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa announced Wednesday that the camp near Dayton has been sold to Steve Collen, of Webster County. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

''These are tough economic times,'' said Sally Frotscher, girl services director for the Fort Dodge office of Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. ''Trying to maintain five camps is hard. We had to concentrate our resources where it would do the most good.''

Hunter says there are a lot of rumors about consolidating all of the camps into one... and she says that's simply not true. Hunter says, "To have a motive to move everything to one central location, that's not how we see our council moving."
