Open Scouts

Open Scouts is an open-source platform designed to help organizations and communities manage volunteer resources, scout missions, and field operations with structured dashboards, task coordination tools, and reporting workflows. It brings together participant profiles, mission calendars, assignment tracking, and communication channels into one unified interface, enabling teams to plan events, assign responsibilities, and measure engagement without relying on disparate spreadsheets or manual tracking. Volunteers and team leads can log activity, submit reports, and visualize mission progress, while administrators gain oversight into coverage gaps, availability calendars, and participation trends. Open-Scouts emphasizes accessibility and flexibility, allowing groups of various sizes — from small nonprofit teams to larger field organizations — to adapt the platform to their workflows with custom roles, permissions, and event types.
