CampfireAbout Campfire
We're dedicated to supporting the Scout community with technology that makes troop management simple, secure, and engaging for everyone.
Our Mission
To empower Scout leaders, families, and Scouts with intuitive technology that strengthens troop communities, simplifies administrative tasks, and helps young people achieve their Scouting goals.
Purpose-Driven
Every feature is designed with the unique needs of Scout troops in mind, supporting the values and methods of Scouting.
Community-First
We listen to Scout leaders and families to continuously improve our platform based on real troop needs and feedback.
Safety-Focused
Youth protection and data privacy are built into every aspect of our platform, ensuring a safe digital environment for all.
Why We Built Campfire
Understanding the Challenge
Scout leaders dedicate countless volunteer hours to organizing activities, managing communications, and tracking advancement. Too often, they spend more time wrestling with spreadsheets and email chains than focusing on what they do best - developing young leaders.
The Inspiration
We witnessed talented Scoutmasters burning out from administrative overhead and families feeling disconnected from troop activities. We knew technology could help, but existing solutions were either too complex, too generic, or didn't understand the unique culture of Scouting.
Our Solution
Campfire was born from the belief that great technology should feel invisible. We've created a platform that handles the logistics so leaders can focus on mentoring, families can stay engaged, and Scouts can pursue their adventures with full support from their troop community.
"Since implementing Campfire, I've gained back hours each week that I used to spend on administrative tasks. Now I can focus on what I became a Scoutmaster for - helping young people grow into leaders."- Sarah M., Scoutmaster, Troop 456
"My daughter used to forget about meetings and events, but now she gets notifications on her phone and can chat with her patrol. She's more engaged with the troop than ever."- Mark R., Scout Parent
