When you think local, think of The Scout Guide.

We’re passionate advocates for the small businesses that make our community thrive.

Our guide brings visibility that goes far beyond the page. It celebrates the stories behind the storefronts, sparks connection, and fuels creativity within our cities.

Follow along...starting next week we continue to introduce you to people worth meeting, stories worth hearing, and businesses worth supporting for Volume 4, because living locally has never looked so good. 💜

Merry Christmas 🎄

EDITOR’S NOTE | From my family to yours, wishing you the warmest and merriest Christmas.

This season, I’m so grateful for the incredible community that makes The Scout Guide possible, our local businesses, partners, readers, and friends who believe in shopping small and supporting one another.

Your trust and encouragement mean everything. Together, you make the Pine Belt feel like home and the TSG community truly feel like family.

May your homes be joyful, your hearts full, and your stockings filled with locally loved treasures.

With joy and appreciation,

There’s nothing we love more than winding down in a beautifully curated space, especially with The Scout Guide within reach.
A little luxury. A lot of local pride. 🤎
