Scout is a fast and intuitive smart search tool designed with kids in mind. Younger patrons love Scout's streamlined layout and intuitive display, because they're able to find what they're looking for without being confused or distracted by more advanced functions. Scout even filters out mediums that are irrelevant to the K-4 crowd, such as equipment, websites, dioramas, regalia, etc.

Students, teachers, and librarians alike will appreciate how uncomplicated Scout is to use. There isn't even a search button! Just enter a word or phrase into the search field, and Scout will start looking.
