Scout Books cares deeply about environmental and economic sustainability. Since being founded in 2009, we've been committed to small scale, local manufacturing of customizable books using 100% recycled papers on equipment powered by renewable energy. Our paper is sourced from North American paper mills, and with the help of Lean Manufacturing, we work hard to reduce waste and add value to our products. We became B Corp Certified in 2017 to deepen our progress with using our business as a force for good. We're a certified Woman owned business in the state of Oregon. We love giving back through our Equity Alliance and Future Forests donation programs. Lastly, we make beautiful books, which bring joy and value to the people we serve.
