MEET THE EDITOR | Hi there! My name is Beth Alverson and I am the editor/ owner of The Scout Guide Auburn & Opelika. 

I first fell in love with the Auburn & Opelika community when I attended Auburn University. My husband, Wade, and I were fortunate to return to Auburn where we raised our three children. We have loved calling Auburn & Opelika home for the last 20+ years. 

I am so excited to be bringing The Scout Guide to the Auburn & Opelika community. I want to share the stories and faces behind the local businesses that make our community so special. 

The Scout Guide is an annual publication that advocates and elevates local businesses and will be joining a network of 95+ other cities across the country. 

I cannot wait to connect with you! Whether you want to discuss your local business being a part of The Scout Guide, or want to share a business you want to see in The Scout Guide, please reach out! You can message me on social media, or send an email to auburn@thescoutguide.com

Please follow along as we scout local businesses that will be Founding Members of The Scout Guide Auburn and Opelika Volume 1! Volume 1 is set to launch Spring 2025!
