Welcome to the inaugural volume of The Scout Guide Ann Arbor. The guide is here to serve you, those in Ann Arbor and all of the surrounding areas, and visitors alike. It is here to support all things local in our area including nonprofits, shops, entrepreneurs, restaurants, artists, and more. It is here to foster full - circle moments to help build a stronger community, one we can touch and make a difference in.
It is for connection, to get to know those that pour their time and energy into the offerings in our area. It is for collaboration between local community members, nonprofits, and existing and new businesses. We are all our best when we are lifting one another up.
It has been an honor as a local to witness this guide come to life, to hear the stories behind the people, to elevate businesses in forward - moving directions and to connect people in new ways. The Scout Guide is here to make an impact in ways more than we can see and even imagine. As your editor, I am here to serve and help you; it has been my life’s mission. Seek and find what The Scout Guide Ann Arbor has for you.
Live. Love. Local.
