Who We Are

SCOUT ABOUTS is an association of adults that was formed in Central Indiana in 1997 with the intent of keeping adults interested in and connected with Girl Scouting - many after their own daughters had actively left troops.  SCOUT ABOUTS may use their individual talents to spread the word about Girl Scouting, mentor, support and assist the Council programs and most of all serve as role models living the Girl Scout promise and law.
​
SCOUT ABOUTS  can be found on every side, all around, here and there, near and in readiness, prepared and seeking the means to adapt to the changing world in which girls are now  growing up.   

The Mission, "Adults helping Adults helping Girls", remains the focus each year. Members are encouraged to help in the planning of our monthly programs or activities including an annual weekend camping event at one of the Girl Scout or other organization camps. We stay in one of the facilities with beds and flushies!!! Attendance to all activities is always optional.                     

History

The seed was planted for this  association when the president of the board of directors of Hoosier Capital Council (now Girl Scouts of Central Indiana) returned from a trip to Great Britain. In Scotland, she had visited with an alumni group of Girl Guides and she brought back the idea of their existence to the executive director of the council. A group brainstormed......publicity was sent out and soon the first gathering took place in the fall of 1997 to form this association. 
The name, Scout Abouts, was chosen by ballot, officers were elected and a committee was formed to establish a set of bylaws.
Scout Abouts has endured all the changes through the years with a membership of 50 or more including men. The association recognizes members who pass with a donation to the council in some form. Social media via our quarterly newsletter and occasional emails allows us to stay in touch with members who reside out-of-state. 

Officers

The positions of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer are elected by the membership at the annual meeting of Scout Abouts. Any member is eligible to run for one of these positions.
