Why Pool Scouts
The prospect of being your own boss and owning your own business is inspiring – and intimidating. Where do you start, and how? How can you be sure you’re doing the right thing? The beauty of franchising is that it offers the freedom of business ownership, without all the fear and expenses of starting from scratch, and there’s never been a better time to pursue franchising than now.
The Pool Scouts franchise opportunity is a game-changer in the pool services world – a refreshing take on pool cleaning and maintenance that the industry needs. From our professionally trained technicians (Scouts) to best-in-class technology, Pool Scouts is the solution customers have been looking for. They need us, and you.
The Pool Scouts Difference
The time is right for franchising in the pool services industry, where the market need for customers looking to spend more time enjoying their pools – and less time maintaining them on their own – is clear. Pool Scouts offers a proven business model servicing residential pool owners who have been craving a more professional approach towards pool cleaning and maintenance. Pool Scouts professionalizes the maintenance and service of residential pools by offering state of the art technology and best in class customer service.

With more than 10 million residential pools in the USA the growth potential is stellar, and with most markets still available your opportunity awaits.
- Support from Base Camp: Servicing a homeowner’s swimming pool can be complex, but we have it handled. Our training programs are designed to get you up to speed quickly and keep you learning on an ongoing basis.

You will be helping families and communities come together, one cannonball at a time. Helping your customers enjoy more time with friends and family is at the heart of the Pool Scouts mission.
