The Scout Guide

The Scout Guide (TSG) is a 100% women-founded and women-owned publishing franchise with 75+ locations nationwide—and growing! Launched in 2010 by Susie Matheson and Christy Ford, The Scout Guide began as a locally focused website and city guide dedicated to Charlottesville, Virginia. Since then, TSG has expanded nationwide, with editors/owners in each city serving as curators, storytellers, and small business advocates. At our headquarters in Charlottesville, VA our national team shepherds our print guides through design and production and produces our online editorial content. As a network, we support more than 3,000 small business owners, artists, artisans, dreamers, doers, and makers. For more information on becoming a TSG franchisee, we invite you to visit thescoutguide.com/franchise.
