Our Story
Scout Environmental was founded by friends and colleagues Ryan, Jason and Melanie who saw an opportunity to blaze their own professional trail. Acting on this vision, they created SCOUT ENVIRONMENTAL, a U.S. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Ryan, a Navy veteran, joined forces with Jason, with a proud history of family military service, and Melanie, an environmental attorney and Marine Corps spouse, to provide high quality, cost-competitive environmental planning and compliance services for the U.S. military.
Scout Environmental - our name says it all!
We consider ourselves your scouts, your agile and specialized unit of experienced professionals looking ahead to provide you the best available information and services you need to meet your environmental planning and compliance requirements in support of your military mission.
Scout Environmental is a small business comprised of industry veterans. We are strategically based in San Diego, home to one of the largest concentrations of U.S. military installations with some of the most rigorous environmental regulations.
At Scout Environmental, it’s simple: we exist to make our clients’ lives easier while enjoying life and work along the way.
