Where Queer Adventures Begin
The Out Scout is a community dedicated to empowering LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore the outdoors. We believe that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, deserves to experience the beauty and wonder of nature. Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space where members can connect, learn, and adventure together. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a beginner, join us as we break down barriers and redefine outdoor experiences.
An all inclusive LGBTQ+ outdoor adventure community.
Calling all adventure seekers! Are you curious about hiking, camping or other outdoor activities? Don't know anyone else in your area that's interested or where to start? Maybe you already have experience and what to pass that knowledge on to others or take your interests to the next level? The Out Scout is here to help!
We're here to bring education, safety and like minded individuals together to create new and exciting outdoor adventures and opportunities to the LGBTQ+ community.
What We're About
A Safe Space
We aim to build a safe environment for all members of the LGBTQ+ family to come together and learn about all things outdoors.
Education
Trail and camp site reviews, safety information, packing and gear guides, and lessons for every skill level.
Community
Follow The Out Scout and get early access to group hikes, community events, and product launches. Connect with fellow Scouts and build your local pack.
Where We're Headed
The Out Scout started as a place to find your people. Here's where it's going next.
Basecamp
This is where it all started, and it's not going anywhere. The forums, the local Scout packs, the trail guides, the meetups: all of it stays free and open to every Scout who joins. Everything else we build grows out of this.
The App
The Out Scout Compass: find dates, friends or adventure buddies nearby who share your activities, your skill level, and your idea of a good weekend. Coming Soon!
The Trading Post
A storefront (with classes and gear swap meetups too) where Scouts can pass their gear on to the next adventurer. Not open yet, but it's coming.
