Pool Scouts Franchise Overview 

Pool Scouts is Your Ultimate Home-Based, Recurring-Revenue Business!

Pool Scouts offers a great opportunity as a low-cost franchise in the pool services industry providing an essential service to homeowners.

All too often pool service providers are made up of a guy with a truck and a net and a sporadic schedule. However, with a Pool Scouts business, you can be part of establishing a new benchmark in pool service by adding a level of professionalism and technology unparalleled in today’s market. Through a consistent offering of recurring services, you’ll be making an impact for your community, while building a business that allows you to take charge of your future.
