Hi, Emily, thanks!

Just to describe what Scout is - it's a search engine and alert system for government action. It covers bills wending their way through Congress and all 50 state legislatures, newly proposed and final regulations across the federal government, and speeches made on the floor of Congress.

More than that - if you find a bill you care about, either in Congress or one of the states, you can "follow" that specific bill to get smarter notifications, such as votes, activity, and upcoming hearings and debate.
