Branded storefront
A council-specific name, palette, photography, roast collection, and hosted address create a local experience instead of a generic fundraising catalog.
For councils
A coffee brand your council can call its own.
Scouting Coffee is designed to give each council a distinct storefront, steady recurring support, and useful troop-attribution reporting without asking volunteers to manage roasting or fulfillment.

The council model
Distinct in public. Consistent underneath.
Every council can have its own visual system and product story while the platform keeps a common commerce, reporting, and fulfillment pattern.
Subscription-first sales
Customers can build a recurring mix or place a one-time order. Each paid bag carries the displayed troop fundraiser credit.
Optional troop credit
The customer can choose an eligible unit. That association identifies the troop for monthly check reporting. Scout credit, where offered, is reporting only.
Supplier fulfillment
The model is intended to send paid orders to the roasting and drop-shipping supplier, keeping coffee inventory away from council offices and volunteers.
Reporting without guesswork
A unit association is useful only when the council can review it.
The planned council report groups finalized order records by reporting period and identifies optional troop associations. Sherpa uses reconciled troop amounts to prepare monthly checks; council administrators can review the records.
- Per-troop earned amounts and check records
- Order association by eligible unit
- Clear separation between attributed and unattributed orders
- Export intended for council reconciliation

Commission operations
A predictable monthly handoff.
Sherpa Systems, Inc. collects all customer revenue and prepares monthly checks for troops on the first Monday, after the reporting period is reconciled.
- Close
Finalize the reporting period
Paid orders, changes, refunds, and reporting eligibility must be reconciled before a commission is treated as ready.
- Review
Prepare the council report
The council can review troop and Scout attribution, amounts due, and recorded checks. Unassigned amounts remain held pending allocation.
- Initiate
Issue checks to troops
Sherpa issues checks outside this app, then records the check reference, payee, amount, and issue date. Recipients do not need Stripe onboarding; Scouts are not payees.
Launching with Blue Ridge
Build one council experience well, then make the platform travel.
Blue Ridge Council is the launch tenant. Additional councils will require confirmed branding, unit data, confirmed troop check recipients, and fulfillment readiness before a public launch.
