The family-owned business SCOUT was birthed in the early
2000s by Deb and Ben Johns. It all started when Deb Waterman Johns, Chief
Creative Officer, noticed the need for affordable bags that are both
fashionable and functional. The husband and wife duo and their company SCOUT
join hands with the Georgetown and DC/MD/VA community to benefit their Go Bo
Fund. The money raised is given back to the society to aid those who are facing
medical responsibilities of dealing with pediatric cancer and also managing their
families.
SCOUT is basically a bag brand that believes that one should be able to carry everything in style without having to compromise on practicality. The company sells a broad range of bags from pouches to backpacks to totes and much more. The designs are constructed to be versatile. The material also boasts several qualities. However, it is not solely dedicated to creating bags as other accessories are also made. For instance, their categories include coolers and keychains. Other storage items and rugs are a part of the products’ list.
