Why am I still seeing the term “Field Scout” around the website?
We didn't want to delay this announcement, so we're still working on transitioning to "Hipcamp Photographer" across the website. In the meantime, you will still see "Field Scout" around the website, and Hosts will still see this on their side. We'll update all instances as soon as we can, along with a clearer outline to Hosts about your role :)
Why are Hosts still calling me a Field Scout?
We’re updating all instances of “Field Scout” on the website first, then we’ll formally alert Hosts, along with a reminder of your role. Until then, they may still refer to you as a Field Scout. Thanks for your patience on this!
