What is The Scout Guide? ✨ When co-founders Christy Ford and Susie Matheson launched The Scout Guide, they had one mission—to save small businesses.
Today, The Scout Guide has grown into a national franchise that offers an elevated advertising experience for local businesses through beautifully printed city guides and dynamic digital storytelling. But it has always been more than a guide: it’s about building community to showcase the people, faces, and stories behind the businesses we love.
Each story is unique, but they share the same threads: taking a risk, recognizing an opportunity, following a passion, persevering, and being deeply committed to their community. That’s why everyone at The Scout Guide remains dedicated to supporting and uplifting local businesses in communities all across the country.
