A digital home foryour scout group

No. Membership records and fees stay in your membership system. Oase is the place for everyday messages that would otherwise end up in Messenger, on Facebook, in texts and in emails.

Yes. In Plenum each section gets its own sub-oase, e.g. beavers, cubs, juniors and troop. Leaders can also have a leaders' forum only they can see, and every section can still be reached together from Plenum.

Yes. You don't need a social media profile to use Oase. Anyone under 13 needs a parent's consent. For the youngest sections it's usually the parents who are in the oase.

No. They can keep the apps they already use. Oase is simply where the scout group's messages are kept together.

That's a very real concern. Parents already have plenty of apps and messages to keep track of. That's why the idea behind Oase isn't to add another channel, but to bring together the communication that today is spread across Messenger, Facebook, texts and email. Of course, that means you as a scout group need to decide what Oase is for and which channels it replaces. In our experience, a good introduction and clear agreements from the start make a big difference. We're happy to help you get off to a good start, so Oase makes things simpler – not one more thing to keep an eye on.

You do. Your content is encrypted, data is stored in the EU, and we never sell your data. There are no ads in Oase, and you decide who has access.

Start with the leaders, so they know Oase before parents and scouts join. We help set up Plenum and the sections, and then each section can invite people with a link or a QR code.

If you want to continue, you pay the association price, which is half the list price. The price depends on how many you are, and you can see it in the price calculator above. If you don't continue, the trial simply ends.

Oase is on the App Store and Google Play and also works in the browser on a computer.
