Meet SCOUT, your guide to what you have earned
Service. Community. Opportunities. Useful Tools. SCOUT helps veterans, service members, and military families find real programs, benefits, and community, with names, links, and phone numbers, not runaround.
One account for PIP and SCOUT
Your free NRWF account works with both assistants. SCOUT uses it to remember where you are so resource searches start in the right place, and you never have to repeat yourself.

Military Outdoor Resource Guide
Fishing. Hunting. Gardening. Hiking. And more.
We are building a guide to outdoor and land-based programs for veterans, service members, and military spouses. SCOUT is the front door: ask and it will search for what is near you.

Two guides, one mission
SCOUT finds the program, the benefit, and the community. PiP handles what happens in the kitchen: meal plans, grocery lists, and SNAP-friendly cooking. One free NRWF account works with both.
