From the field to the code

In 2021 I was a leader in Scouting, and everything lived on paper. Member names sat in notebooks, attendance in scattered Excel files, and a single report was rewritten several times before it reached the leadership. So I built a small tool for one troop, Smart Scout Manager: members, activities, the cash box and reports in one place.

Then I noticed the same problem everywhere. Associations, humanitarian organisations and international events were all buried in the same paperwork. Years in humanitarian supply chains had already taught me one thing: accurate data is what makes a good decision.

That is how ScoutHub Lab began. To us, a scout is the one who explores the path first, then shows others the way.

Today we are a small multidisciplinary team. AI multiplies what we can build, but people still make the decisions. We have shipped 20 projects, more than 17,000 people used them in 2025–2026, our work reaches more than 12 countries, and more than 1,500 scout leaders plan with Najem.
