Volume One WELCOME

As we unveil our inaugural volume of The Scout Guide Fort Collins, I am filled with gratitude for this incredible journey. Curating this local guide has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I am so honored to showcase the amazing entrepreneurs, taste makers, culture creators, and innovators that are the heartbeat of our community.

To our cherished members, I want to thank you for trusting us to share your authentic stories through imagery showcasing your shops, boutiques, restaurants, and services. Getting to know each of you, and why you do what you do, has truly been the most rewarding aspect of our work. This first volume is especially fulfilling, as I could not have completed it without your belief in our vision, creative direction, and collaborative efforts.

At the heart of this guide is a desire to tell your story, and we are dedicated to crafting compelling visual narratives through the lens of a camera. The Scout Guide Fort Collins is so much more than a beautiful table book with beautiful pictures; it’s a celebration of the spirit of our local businesses and Northern Colorado leaders. I am so very proud to have a community of Fort Collins's most inspiring individuals, and I look forward to continuing to bulid relationships with depth and meaning.

I am profoundly honored to have each of you as a partner, and I stand in awe at the strength that emerges when businesses grow together, support and advocate for one another, and genuinely foster connections. In large part, it is because of all of you that Fort Collins has been named as both a “Best Place to Travel” ( Forbes ) , and the “Most Peaceful Place to Live in the US” ( Travel + Leisure ) .

I would like to thank the Northern Colorado community of locals and visitors who use this guide to support all things local. We hope that it will inspire discovery. When you visit these businesses who care so much about our community, tell them The Scout Guide sent you!

LIVE. LOVE. LOCAL.
