Scouting Nederland Tech Stack
Netherlands' largest youth organization scaling volunteer operations through digital tools
Scouting Nederland runs the country's biggest youth and young-adult program, operating across outdoor activities, group work, and multi-day events. The organization is modernizing its tech stack—adopting PHP, Laravel, React, and Tailwind CSS—while still running core workflows on Microsoft 365 and CAD tools. Volunteer recruitment and retention dominates the pain-point list, reflected in hiring concentration around operations (23 roles) and support (7), suggesting the organization is building capacity to manage its growing volunteer base rather than adding engineering depth.
