Be the first to find a spot nobody's posted yet. Scouts is a discovery-driven social network for explorers: scout fresh places, be the FIRST to post from one, and you "open" it — becoming its Pioneer. The community decides what's worth seeing, so the best finds rise to the top. No likes — just real signal. DISCOVER FIRST, GET THE CREDIT - Open new places before anyone else and earn the Pioneer badge. - The community votes posts up — the best rise to Hot, not the loudest. - You discover places through real people, not an algorithm. A MESSENGER YOU'LL ACTUALLY WANT TO USE - Free voice & video calls — 1:1, no extra app. - 1:1 and group chats to plan trips, swap spots, or just talk. - React and reply to any message so threads stay easy to follow. - Read receipts (double check-marks) so you know it landed. - Message requests: people you don't follow land in a separate tray — you decide who can DM you. - Private messages with controls that keep your DMs yours. LEVEL UP YOUR SCOUT RANK Climb from Newcomer through Scout, Pathfinder, Guide, Keeper, all the way to Legend by posting, exploring and earning votes. YOUR PLACES, ON THE MAP - Tag any post with a place chip like "Lisbon · PT". - Tap any place to open it on the map and see exactly where it is. - Keep a My Places list: spots you want to go and ones you've been. - Fly the flags of every country you've visited on your profile.
