Exactly five years ago, in spring of 2017, a free magazine called ‘scout’ hit the streets of the Gold Coast. We lived the dream for two years – then along came a global pandemic, forcing the tourism industry (and with it, scout magazine) into hiatus. But today, we’re back. We missed you, too.
We’ve got something pretty special here on the Gold Coast. Where else can you indulge in pastries that have a MasterChef judge’s tick of approval, scale the side of the country’s tallest building or take your pick from not one, but multiple world-class surf breaks – all in one city?
Yep, for all the stereotypes and stories, true Gold Coasters know that this place is unlike any other. Isn’t it time we celebrated that?
After an almost three-year hiatus, we’re returning with a new look and a refreshed vision that captures the spirit of the city we all know and love. We’re ready to be your number one source for all things Gold Coast.
With the relaunch of scout magazine comes a fresh take on Gold Coast lifestyle. A uniquely Gold Coast perspective, driven by the people and the places that make this city its own.
We’ll taste the best new eats, trial the latest and greatest accommodation (someone’s gotta do it) and reveal the secrets only the locals can tell you about. Whether it’s must-attend events, the lowdown on that new restaurant you’re seeing all over Instagram or the people behind your favourite businesses, team scout is ready to deliver content that’s tailored to locals – the ‘born and bred’, the transplants and the transient travellers alike.
Some of you might remember scout magazine from that blissful, pre-COVID era. Those were the days, weren’t they? Others might be new here so if that’s you, welcome – we’re so happy to have you.
scout started out as a free seasonal print magazine. But while we loved bringing you tangible updates on the city’s latest happenings, we no longer feel like one publication every three months can do this town justice. There’s just too much to talk about.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce that scout magazine will be returning as a fortnightly newsletter – scout mag – delivered straight to your inbox.
Don’t worry; we’re still free.
The very first edition will be dropping in just a few weeks. Click here to be among the first to discover the all-new scout magazine. We know you’re going to love it.
P.S. Did we mention it’s free? You literally have nothing to lose.
