Founding Scouts · through December 31

Be one of the first.

PleinScout is on the App Store and Google Play. Instead of a Kickstarter, we're launching it ourselves, and the painters who join in the first two months become Founding Scouts. Your support pays for the custom field bag, and the rest of the planning tools.

Getting a kit? Add Make It Lifetime for $30 and your year of Pro becomes lifetime, with the Founder badge.

Giving it as a gift?

Every kit order comes with a printable gift card to wrap. The year of Pro can be turned on right away, so there's something to open on the day. The kit follows in April.

Want your supplies sooner?

Add "Ship my supplies now" for $20 and we'll send the paint and gear within two weeks. The bag follows in April. US orders only. Order by December 10 to have it before Christmas.

Prices, contents and shipping are on each kit's page in the shop. You can cancel a pre-order for a full refund any time before it ships. Shop terms
