The journey awaits—and I couldn’t be more excited to invite you along.
Volume 3 of The Scout Guide Hattiesburg is more than just a beautifully bound collection of pages—it’s a heartfelt invitation to explore, connect, and celebrate the best of what South Mississippi has to offer. It’s a love letter to our locally owned businesses, the passionate people behind them, and the vibrant communities they help shape.
When I stepped into this role, I knew I was saying yes to something special. What I didn’t expect was just how deeply I’d fall in love with the process—the collaboration, the creativity, the new friendships formed over shared vision and purpose. I’ve had the joy of sitting across tables and walking through shop doors, hearing stories of grit and grace, of dreams built from the ground up.
And that’s the heartbeat of this guide: people. People who show up for one another. People who believe in their communities and pour themselves into their work. People who reminded me, again and again, that when we lift each other up, we all rise.
Volume 3 is brimming with that spirit. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully curated features, timeless photography, and a trail of inspiration that winds through every page. It’s designed to be used—dog-eared, bookmarked, and tucked into your weekender as you road trip from Natchez to the Pine Belt and every southern backroad in between! Whether you’re discovering a new boutique, trying a local eatery, or meeting a maker for the first time, I hope this guide leads you somewhere meaningful.
This isn’t just a publication—it’s a celebration of place, passion, and people. And as you turn each page, my hope is that you feel the same joy, awe, and connection I’ve felt while creating it.
Here’s to discovery. To collaboration. To championing small businesses and finding JOY in the everyday. Volume 3 is just the beginning—and I’m so honored you’re a part of the journey.
Cheers,
CLINT MOORE PRESIDENT

“Giving like a local is more than generosity—it’s an act of connection. When we give, we not only upli others, but we also grow ourselves. Each act of kindness strengthens our community, enriches lives, and plants seeds of lasting change. The organizations highlighted here are just a few doing incredible work in our community, reminding us that together, we can create the change we wish to see. Give like a local. Make a lasting impact.”
