ABOUT US
In 2016, Dame Scout Founder, Jackie Raudabaugh, began reflecting on friendships as an adult.
Often times it is hard to maintain the friendships we once knew and making new friends as an adult can feel challenging to say the least. When looking back at a lifetime of friendships, Jackie thought fondly of the time she was in scouts growing up. Throughout the years the scouting experience allowed her to develop deep connections to friends old and new, gain skills, and have amazing experiences.
She began to wonder...why couldn't the essence of scouting get replicated into adulthood?
As usual, she reached out to two of her ride-or-die friends who often went along with her crazy ideas and they were so excited to come over and get this party started.
The first meeting of Dame Scouts happened in 2016 and continued monthly until the pandemic put a stop to things. With the world shut down, the meetings stopped and Jackie put her full attention into her business, The Posh Shop Co. However, Dame Scouts never left her mind and she kept thinking about how to replicate Dame Scouts in an online forum that could bring ALL women together. Finally, this new form of Dame Scouts came to her...
