Scott Township is one of thirty-seven townships in Holt County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 41 at the 2020 census. A 2021 estimate placed the township's population at 41.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 38 to 51 (+34%).

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Scott yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Scott is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Scott has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Rouse Ranch in Paddock, 5.7 miles away.
