The Scout Guide Evansville

HAPPY NEW YEAR // Wow, 2024 was a wild ride. The year The Scout Guide Evansville came to life will always hold a special place in our hearts. However, I have a feeling it can’t beat 2025. We are so excited for 2025 and the official launch of Volume 1! We’ve spent the last 5 months scouting the BEST local businesses and our lineup is looking strong. Good news though, we have ?10? spots left for a few local gems to snag a spot in Volume 1. If you know a business we need to learn about, tag them below! May tonight spark the beginning of something beautiful for you and your family. Happy New Year, friends.
