Scout is a closed service. You join by knowing someone already on it.
An existing Scout user adds you by texting your number to Scout. You'll receive two messages — a compliance notice, then a name ask. Replying with your name confirms enrollment and connects you to their recs.
Every Scout user has a personal code — like JOSH or GIA. Text the code to 619-313-5900 and you're connected instantly. You'll receive a compliance notice and a name ask. Initiating contact is your opt-in.
Scout sends only direct responses to your messages — recommendation replies, confirmations, and a one-time re-engagement if you've gone quiet. No bulk messages. No marketing. No third-party promotions.
Reply STOP to immediately and permanently unsubscribe. Reply START to re-subscribe. Reply HELP for assistance. These commands always work.
Your phone number is your identity in Scout. Your recommendations are private — visible only to you and the connections you've opted into. We never sell or share your data.
