About THE SCOUT GUIDE
THE SCOUT GUIDE is a registered franchise offering services in the Other sector.
Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)
Under this brand's Item 12 rule, the franchisor grants an exclusive territory: while your agreement runs, the franchisor may not place another franchisee — or operate a competing company unit — inside your territory's boundaries (subject to the carve-outs in the FDD). Areas inside an existing franchisee's territory are therefore not available to a new buyer.
Where THE SCOUT GUIDE operates today
Per the brand's FDD outlet table (Item 20, Table 3 — franchised outlets by state, latest fiscal year): 85 franchised units across 29 states.
Projected openings (Item 20, Table 5)
Franchise agreements the FDD projects for the next fiscal year:

Why two unit counts? The Key figures above cite 93 franchised units (Item 20, p.41) — the franchisor's reported franchised-unit total. The map above sums Item 20, Table 3 (franchised outlets by state at fiscal year-end), which totals 85. The two Item 20 figures are compiled on different bases, so they need not match.
What is NOT available
Not available: any area inside an existing franchisee's exclusive territory while that agreement runs. Existing units sit in: AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, LA, MI, MS, MO, MT, NE, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, TN, TX, UT, VA, WY — a specific address near an existing unit is governed by that territory's boundaries.
Only the franchisor can confirm availability.
