Stop searching, start scrolling. Just Scout it!
At its core, Scout is a social media platform that allows users to discover and share stunning locations around the world.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Browse the Home Feed for locations in your vicinity as well as those posted by your favorite Scouters. Use the explore page to scout locations for upcoming trips or your next shoot. Once you’ve selected the perfect location, ‘Unlock’ the exact coordinates, shooting tips, and other advice provided by the Scouter.
WHY SCOUT?
Gone are the days of driving or ubering around, wasting precious time and money to find the right backdrop. Scout streamlines the creative process of endlessly searching for new and exciting locations in your home city or abroad.
WHO CAN BECOME A SCOUTER?
Anyone! Scout gives everyone the opportunity to get involved and earn in the industry, allowing you to feel valued for your unique perspective. We are a community that bridges the gap between location scouts, users, and content creators.
HOW ARE SCOUTERS REWARDED?
Beyond its core functionality, Scout provides an incentivizing platform that rewards you for curating and sharing unique locations. Scouters receive a commission each time a user ‘Unlocks’ your location - monetizing the creative effort that goes into finding worthy locations.
