Cole from ScoutSmarts

My name's Cole and I'm on a mission to help Scouts lead and succeed! As an Eagle Scout who's graduated from university, listed Scouting on their resume to land a great job, and spent hundreds of nights sleeping in the outdoors, I know firsthand how Scouting can change a person's life for the better.

My goal is to teach you all the smart Scouting knowledge that I wish I'd known when just starting out. That way, you'll be prepared to make the best of your time in Scouting, earn your Eagle rank, and achieve amazing things in the real world. :)
