For scout troops & packs

The troop meets weekly. The trailhead doesn't come to you.

Den meetings, campout drop-offs, service projects across town. Scouting runs on parent drivers — Carpool Team shows each family the easiest one to ask.

Sound familiar?

• Weekly meetings, rain or shine

  The same Tuesday-night run to the meeting hall, all year. Families whose routes overlap can trade weeks instead of both driving every single time.

• Campouts start at a trailhead

  Friday drop-off at a camp 50 minutes out, Sunday pickup at noon. Matching by route means the family two streets over — whom you'd never think to ask — shows up at the top of the list.

• Gear takes space

  Packs, tents, coolers, the patrol box. Fewer cars with fuller trunks beats a convoy of half-empty back seats.

• Service projects move around

  The food bank this month, the park cleanup the next. Every new location gets its own ranked list, so nobody has to re-solve the puzzle in the group text.
