Compass

Compass is the app we kept getting asked to build: a way to actually meet other queer outdoor folks near you, not just read about them on a forum post. Whether you're looking for a date, a climbing partner, or just more queer friends who'll actually show up to a trailhead at 6am, this is built for that.

*No spam, just a heads up the moment we launch in your area.

What it actually does

Match on more than looks

Filter by activity, skill level, and what you're actually looking for: dating, friendship, or an adventure partner. You set it, we match on it.

Real people, real profiles

A short intro video and a few honest prompts instead of just photos. You'll know who you're talking to before the first message.

Group adventures, not just 1:1

Host or join hikes, climbs, and meetups right in the app. Lower pressure, more people, same community you already know from Basecamp.

One price, no games

$7 a month after your free trial, the same for every single Scout. No pay-to-rank, no hidden tiers, no different prices for different people. Join early and that price is locked in for you, for good.

Built by the same community

Compass isn't a separate thing bolted onto The Out Scout, it's the next chapter of the same community we've been building since day one. Same values, same people, just an easier way to actually find each other.

FAQ

When does it launch?

We don't have an exact date yet, but the waitlist is how we'll tell you first. Signing up doesn't commit you to anything.
