Our vision
The operating system for Scouting
- One platform that handles everything a Scout group needs — from badges to bank accounts.
- Software that grows with the movement, not against it.
- A future where no volunteer quits because the admin was too much.
Our mission
Making volunteering as easy as possible
- Remove the admin burden so leaders can focus on what matters — the young people.
- Build tools that work the way leaders actually think, not the way software companies wish they did.
- Prove that purpose-built software can be affordable, powerful, and genuinely delightful to use.
What we believe
The principles that guide every decision we make
Everything included, always
Every feature we build is available to every group. No tiered plans, no premium add-ons, no artificial limitations. If it exists, you get it.
One fair price
One group, one price. It doesn’t matter if you have two sections or twenty — you pay the same. Simple maths, no surprises.
Keep money in Scouting
We don’t take a cut of your payments. No transaction fees, no percentage skimmed off the top. Parent money goes to your group, not to us.
Built for today
Modern technology, mobile-first design, and fast iteration. We build for how leaders actually work — on the go, between meetings, from their phone.
Your voice, our direction
Our roadmap is shaped by the leaders who use Scoutworks every day. You tell us what you need, we build it. That’s the deal.
Secure by default
Cyber Essentials certified, hosted in the EU and processed under UK GDPR, encrypted at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Security isn’t an add-on — it’s the foundation.
Our pricing promise
Flat. For everyone.
- One flat price for the whole group — no per-section, per-member or add-on charges
- No per-section charges
- No platform fees on payments
- No add-ons or bolt-ons to pay for
- Everyone pays the same — no subsidised free tier
We give back by not taking in the first place. No percentage of your payments, no hidden costs, no surprise invoices. The platform keeps getting better, and the price is one flat fee — no per-section, per-member or add-on charges.

Modern tech stack
Built with today’s best tools — fast, reliable, and constantly improving. No legacy baggage holding us back.
Cyber Essentials certified
Government-backed security certification. Your data is protected by the same standards used across the public sector.
Hosted in the EU, under UK GDPR
Your group’s data is hosted in the EU (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and processed under UK GDPR, with Scoutworks as your data processor and every sub-processor named in our privacy policy. It is encrypted at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+).
Community-driven
Built by leaders, for leaders
Scoutworks was founded by an active Scout leader who got tired of fighting clunky software instead of running a great programme.
Every feature we build comes from real conversations with real leaders about what they actually need.
We don’t build in isolation. Our public roadmap and feedback board mean you always have a say in what comes next.
