Among our distinguished attendees are young professionals, entrepreneurs, influencers, business owners, and tastemakers from across Captiva, Sanibel, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, Naples, Estero and Marco Island. Many are Scout Guide members, eager to expand their networks and engage with like-minded peers, while others are prospective members curious to explore the discerning community that The Scout Guide represents.

Beyond the networking and shopping, this gathering is a must-attend for event planners and producers, who are excited to experience firsthand the beauty and versatility of Corkscrew Wedding and Winery as a premier venue.
