Where belonging happens.

Browseable groups your members can request to join. Attendance built in. Leader feedback closing the loop nobody else captures. The way your church already does small group, on rails.

What Scout does with groups

Three behaviors that make group ministry visible.

  • Findable, request-able, real

    Members browse published groups and request to join.

    Published groups appear in the member app with a banner, schedule, leader photo, and short description. Members request to join; leaders approve or decline with a click. Draft groups stay hidden from non-members so you can plan ahead without confusing anyone.

  • Attendance built into the rhythm

    Track who showed up without making it a chore.

    Leaders mark attendance per meeting in two taps. Group attendance becomes part of what Scout is noticing about each person. Over time, the system notices who’s drifting in groups — and so does the leader.

  • Leader feedback you read

    Difficult, fine, good, great — and a sentence if they have one.

    After a meeting, Scout asks the leader how it went. Over weeks, you see which groups are humming, which ones feel hard, and where the energy went last week. The kind of read you’d normally need to be in the room for.

Where this crosses with the rest of Scout

Group attendance feeds the same picture Scout reads across giving and serving. A faithful group member who drifts in attendance shows up on the morning briefing — a pattern that’s only visible because groups, giving, and serving live in one system.

Honest about what isn't shipped yet

What Scout’s groups module doesn’t do yet.

  • No capacity limits on groups yet. The groundwork is in place; the staff screen to set seat caps is on the near roadmap.
  • Matching new visitors to a nearby group isn’t live yet. Your church location is stored; the match logic isn’t built.
  • Group leader invitations (as distinct from member join requests) are handled in the team workflow today. Dedicated leader-invite flow is on the roadmap.
