Quests, Friendship & Good Deeds
Advocates for Tea, Inclusivity, Kindness, and Philanthropy:
Tea shared makes the best cup of tea!
The Tea Scouts are a group of Steampunks and Time Travelers who strive to provide a positive CommuniTea for like-minded adventurers to have fun, inspire creativity, foster philanthropy, and, of course, drink tea. The Scout Matrixes who founded the Tea Scouts hope to empower the Troop leaders and our Comrades in Tea to share their own joy and kindness at events and conventions.
As part of our shared shenanigans, we host interactive quest chains at conventions and encourage exchanging swaps–tiny mementos that can be easily pinned to a costume and represent the Troop or the individual. We focus on the honour system with all of our activities! Tea Scouting is for fun and friendship, after all.
