Scout Magazine Gold Coast

Eat, shop, stay or play - discover scout magazine, your number one source for all things Gold Coast. scout started out as a free seasonal print magazine.

With the relaunch of scout magazine comes a fresh take on Gold Coast lifestyle. A uniquely Gold Coast perspective, driven by the people and the places that make this city its own.

Whether it’s must-attend events, the lowdown on that new resta

urant you’re seeing all over Instagram or the people behind your favourite businesses, team scout is ready to deliver content that’s tailored to locals – the ‘born and bred’, the transplants and the transient travellers alike. But while we loved bringing you tangible updates on the city’s latest happenings, we no longer feel like one publication every three months can do this town justice. There’s just too much to talk about. That’s why scout magazine is returning as a fortnightly newsletter delivered straight to your inbox.

"We came up with a lot of s**t samples in the beginning before we finally came up with the blue linen set, 'This Senorita needs a margarita'. When we picked them up from the post office and opened the samples, we looked at each other and thought, 'This is it! This is gold.'"
