Advertise with Scout

Put your business in front of national park visitors at the moment they plan their trip.

Scout is the national park guide for all 63 U.S. national parks: trail maps that work offline, GPS audio tours, a day planner and Scout, the park guide who answers visitors’ questions. Visitors open it before and during their trip, which makes it the right moment to reach them.

Below is exactly how each placement looks in the app today. Placements can be set for one park or several, for a season or year-round, and changed at any time without an app update.

One brand, every launch

Opening screen sponsor

Your logo and welcome line on the full-screen park photo every time someone opens Scout. One sponsor at a time, so nothing competes with you.
