For the Member
How a community gets on the list.
Member interest is part of how organizations decide to activate their network.
Requests are not open yet — this is what the form will ask for and what happens to what you send.
What the request will ask
Short, and only about the organization.
The request is about which community to look at next, not about you.
It will ask for the organization and enough context to identify it correctly.
- Which organization you belong to.
- The chapter, school, or region, where that distinguishes it.
- Your affiliation with it, so the request comes from a member.
What happens next
Where a request goes.
Requests are grouped by organization, so that a conversation with one can start from the fact that its own members asked for it.
- 01Grouped by organization
Individual requests are counted together under the community they name.
- 02Used in the conversation
When we speak with an organization, member interest is part of what we bring.
- 03Joining happens through them
If a community becomes live, its members join through the organization itself.
What this is not
A request is interest, not a commitment.
Registering interest does not mean an organization will join, and we cannot say when any particular one might.
The decision belongs to the organization.
What a request does is make sure your community is on the list we work through, and that its own members are visible as part of the case for activating.
Before you do
It may already be live.
Some organizations are already running on Trailblaze.
Once lookup opens, checking first will save you the request.
Requests are coming soon.
When they open, naming your community will be one short step.
Until then, see what Scout does once a network is active.
