EAST TEXAS
EAST TEXAS
When locally owned businesses invest in one another, good things happen.
Whether you’re a visitor or a long-time East Texas resident, we are excited to introduce you to the inaugural volume of The Scout Guide® East Texas.
We are a community of entrepreneurs, taste makers, culture creators, leaders, innovators, and exceptional people who will help you live your best life. Our hope is to create connections and inspire you to explore everything East Texas has to offer.
It has been an absolute pleasure and honor to meet and foster relationships with each and every one of these extraordinary individuals over the past year. We love listening to their stories, getting to know their families, and learning more about the passion fueling their purpose. Without their trust and support, our rst volume would not have been possible, and for that, we cannot thank them enough. Last but not least, thank you to the incredible team responsible for bringing Volume 1 to life!
Browse it, display it, hold onto it as a keepsake, or share it with friends and family. Most importantly, use it! We encourage you to use it to make discoveries. Visit these business owners, support the people who care so much about our community, and when you do, tell them The Scout Guide sent you!
