For the Member

Start with a community you already belong to.

Scout reaches into networks through the organizations that run them, so the first question is whether one of yours is live on Trailblaze.

Lookup is not open yet — here is what it will do, and how requests will work alongside it.

PlaceholderOrganization lookup, not yet live

What this page will do

Check whether a community you belong to is live.

When lookup opens, you will be able to name a university, chapter, association, or group and see whether it is already running on Trailblaze.

  • Search by organization rather than by person.
  • See whether that organization is live, and how to join if it is.
  • If it is not live, register interest in one step.

Why it works this way

Membership is the door in.

You cannot sign up to Trailblaze on your own, and that is deliberate.

Every network is private and built around a shared affiliation, which is what makes a reach inside it reasonable in the first place.

It also means an organization decides to activate before its members can take part.

Your interest is one of the things that informs that decision.

If yours is not there

Requests are how a community gets considered.

Organizations join one at a time.

Once requests open, naming yours will put it on the list we work through — see what that will involve.

Both are on the way.

Lookup and requests are still being built.

In the meantime, see what Scout does once a network is active.
