Scouting is about the outdoors, not email.

It's like iMessage.

With read receipt I know who hasn't got the message.

How Squirrel Chat Works

We've left the worst features of email behind and taken the best features from texting.

The Buddy System

Everyone is assigned a guardian who can oversee conversations. Leaders and Parents can only message scouts in the presence of a Buddy.

Invite Only

The Scoutmasters approve and invites all members. There's no ability to message outside the app.

Activity Board

All significant administration activity is logged to the supervisor feed. Including new groups and changes to any member details.

No-one Reads Emails

We can't send emails and think the kids are reading them, we shouldn't even give the kids email with all the spam they get. We wrote Squirrel Chat to make the troop a troop and not a group of parents telling their kids to read email. .

Less is more.

We communicate less now. Because we communicate better.

List of chats

Guardian

There are a lot of things Squirrel chat doesn't do. It wont share your data, track you or ask for personal information. It wont allow 1:1 chats and all messages with scouts will notify the guardian. It certainly wont let random strangers into your messages.

It works.

Squirrel Chat is the one communication my troop actually reads.
