Scout is Out: Meet Volume 8!
SCOUT IS OUT and we could not be more excited for you to get your hands on a copy of The Scout Guide Austin Volume 8! Keep reading for locations where you can pick up a guide and if you want to peep the digital version in the meantime – look no further!
While this year presented new challenges and obstacles, we were able to produce a beautiful guide – all while social distancing, of course! We couldn’t be more proud of the businesses featured in our latest installment of The Scout Guide Austin; this year they have shown tremendous resiliency, ingenuity and tenacity.
A huge thank you and shoutout to the team who made this guide possible: Paige Newton Photography, Savannah Hickey, Makenzi Hogan and our TSG Intern, Callie Roane. Volume 8 would not be possible without their creativity, help and pep talks!
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that there’s never been a more important time to support local and to support each other. Volume 8 is an introduction to the artists in your neighborhood, the friendly faces behind your morning coffee, the families behind your favorite boutiques and the minds of your favorite Austin-born brands. We encourage you to collect, share and – most importantly – use the guide to delve deeper into this truly special community. Let’s celebrate moving onwards + upwards together!
Keep reading to see who we scouted this year and where to grab your own complimentary copy of Volume 8. Our guides will exclusively be available at the locations & through the partners below starting Thursday (11.19), Friday (11.20) + early next week!
Keep an eye on our Instagram Stories to see where we’ve been delivering that day + stay tuned to see how we’ll be celebrating our launch. And most importantly – and especially going into the holidays – anytime you connect with a business featured in one of our guides … please be sure to TELL THEM THE SCOUT GUIDE SENT YOU!

So, for the first time ever, we have included a ‘Dine Like A Local’ Guide – our version of a cheat sheet – featuring restaurants, coffee shops + bars that are quintessentially Austin. Stop by one of our featured restaurant partners (below) for dinner, a drink and a guide!

THANK YOU FROM THE EDITOR
Every year I say it, and every year I mean it – it takes a village to bring a guide to life! I’m so grateful to work alongside so many amazing & talented people! I’m also so thankful to all of the beautiful venues and restaurants that (safely) opened their doors to us for photo shoots.
This guide would not be possible without so many people’s help, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and I truly hope you enjoy flipping through the pages Volume 8!
Live • Love • Local,
Leigh Ann Kalman
