## What is Scout Events Manager?

A modern companion app for Scout event attendees, enabling quick access to their tailored programme of events, links to the Event details including maps for each event's location, access to participate in challenges plus useful information such as emergency contacts, café menus, location information etc.

There is also a built in messaging service allowing users to get in touch with event leaders in case of emergency without sharing personal  information.

This app is meant as a companion app to the Scout Event Management web platform providing access to event data stored and managed centrally - one app for all events.
