AskScout is a data and technology company with a mission to empower everyday people to visualize and mitigate known, and unknown personal risks. By developing a series of patented classification systems and prediction algorithms, partially based upon the Rutgers Crime Prediction Risk-Terrain modeling method, we take advantage of both time-series and spatial data sets, as well as modern ML techniques, to create a measurement for physical risk, called the AskScout Quantified Risk Index (QRI). Each hourly score is constantly tested against actual incident data and is accurate within a 24-36 hour period, declining in accuracy thereafter. To access the in depth risk details within our QRI, simply tap the map or search for locations of your interest.

Welcome to the Old Hawthorne app, where the experience of our members is our primary focus. We have developed a custom app to enhance your experience on and off property. With only a couple of taps, you can present a digital membership card for staff. You also have easy access to detailed information about the club as well as to a full club calendar. There are even several ways to communicate with us, including Booking a Tennis Clinic, Requesting a Golf club Fitting and Ordering To-Go meals. We hope you enjoy the digital Old Hawthorne experience. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The Old Hawthorne app will attempt to shutdown background GPS services when they are no longer needed.
