My name is Scott Robertson, an Eagle Scout with over 40 years in Scouting. I launched WackyScouter.org (formerly InsaneScouter.org) in 1996 while studying web development, and also serve as a board member of USScouts.org. Together, our resources empower leaders to create engaging and impactful meetings and activities for Scouts.
We offer sponsorship opportunities for Scouting-friendly brands, giving your message visibility across both sites while ensuring their growth and continued improvements.
By partnering with us, your brand will connect with thousands of adult volunteer scout leaders.
