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 Environmental, we noticed many clients and companies looking to fulfill the same needs.
And that is why Scout Environmental was founded by friends and colleagues Ryan, Jason and Melanie. We are environmental 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 Environmental we are your Scouts. Your guides to making complex environmental issues simple, so you can win the day.
Scout's Core Values
We conduct our business with integrity. This means we do what’s right.
We are committed to excellence in all that we do so you know we're getting it done for you with quality.
We enjoy making the complex simple. We make your life easier, so you can have more fun.
