Pocket Compass
AI-Powered Meeting & Activity Planner for Cub Scout Den Leaders
Pocket Compass by Mission Engine AI is an AI-powered planning companion built by Den Leaders in the Scouting America Cub Scout program. Designed for leaders of Lions through Webelos (K-5th Grade). The app turns meeting planning from a time-consuming challenge into a fast, confident, and guided experience.
With just a few prompts, Pocket Compass generates complete den meeting plans aligned with official advancement requirements. Leaders receive age-appropriate activities, games, discussions, and simple supply lists that keep meetings active, fun, and on track with advancement requirements. Pocket Compass provides clear, reliable direction. Created for busy volunteers, the app eliminates the need to search handbooks, websites, or social media for ideas. The secure, closed AI environment is designed to protect leader and youth-related information. Pocket Compass creates flexible plans that adapt to indoor or outdoor spaces, group size, and time constraints, supporting both new and experienced Den Leaders.
Pocket Compass doesn’t replace the heart of Scouting. It strengthens it—helping leaders focus less on prep and more on guiding Cub Scouts as they explore, learn, and grow together.
Council Partnership & Fundraising Opportunities
Pocket Compass offers Scouting America Councils an easy way to support their Den Leaders while generating unrestricted fundraising revenue. Councils can adopt Pocket Compass as a recommended planning resource, promote its use through leader training, roundtables, and communications, offering access as a value-added tool for volunteers.
Through a council partnership model, participating councils receive a revenue share for every leader subscription activated within their council. This creates a sustainable fundraising stream while directly strengthening program quality, leader confidence, and volunteer retention.
By promoting Pocket Compass, councils help ensure leaders have secure, program-aligned planning support—reducing burnout, improving meeting consistency, and enhancing the Cub Scout experience—while earning funds that can be reinvested into local programs, training, and outreach.
Pocket Compass aligns mission impact with financial sustainability, helping councils support their leaders and their bottom line at the same time.
