Scout Terms of Use

Effective date: 2026-05-20

Scout is a field-planning, mapping, and communications aid. These terms are a working beta draft and should receive final legal review before public release.

Field And Legal Responsibility

Scout does not grant land access, hunting permission, radio authorization, emergency response, medical advice, or legal advice.

You are responsible for:

• Hunting laws, seasons, tags, harvest reporting, and local rules.
• Landowner permission and property access.
• Public-land, base, installation, park, forest, and training-area rules.
• Firearm, archery, vehicle, trail, and field safety.
• Radio licensing and lawful radio operation.
• Verifying map, boundary, parcel, weather, and field information with official sources.

Map And Data Accuracy

Map layers, contours, public/private land records, parcel records, trails, roads, waterways, hunting boundaries, operational boundaries, and weather data can be wrong, incomplete, delayed, unavailable offline, or out of date. Scout should not be your only navigation or legal-access tool.

Radio Use

Meshtastic radio features depend on user-owned radio hardware, terrain, battery, antenna position, radio configuration, and local law. Some radio frequencies and operating modes require licenses or have strict use limits. Transmit only if licensed and operating within applicable rules.

Scout provides reference and configuration tools. It does not make legal radio decisions for you.

Emergency And Safety

Scout is not an emergency service, medical device, rescue service, or substitute for first responders. Do not rely on Scout as your only emergency, navigation, medical, or communications tool.

User Content

You are responsible for content you create, import, export, or share through Scout. Do not use Scout to share illegal, unsafe, or unauthorized content. Treat private team invites and encryption keys like passwords.

Third-Party And Public Sources

Scout may display data from public, official, user-owned, or properly licensed sources. Source availability, caching rights, and update schedules vary. Scout may disable, change, or remove a source if terms, reliability, cost, or safety require it.

Beta Software

The current build is beta software. Features may change, fail, lose local data, or behave differently across devices and radios. Test with backup navigation and communications tools.
