Our Story
We understand your frustrations. Trying to find a trusted small business that can deliver the quality services with small business dedication, flexibility, and price. And friendly people who excel at making the complex simple. Before starting Scout, we noticed many clients and companies looking to fulfill the same needs.
And that is why Scout was founded by friends and colleagues Ryan, Jason and Melanie. We are industry veterans who understand your needs and the mission you support.
Ryan, a Navy Veteran, joined forces with Jason, with a history of family military service, and Melanie, an environmental attorney and Marine Corps spouse.
At Scout we are your guides, to making complex issues simple, so you can win the day.
