Shire Scout is a modern, online lifestyle guide dedicated to enriching the lives of the Sutherland Shire community while helping local businesses flourish.


Launched by Bronte Leghissa, Shire Scout was a response to the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the community. Drawing on a background in marketing, Bronte began with a platform she coined COVID-19 The Shire, an online hub dedicated to supporting Shire-based businesses and encouraging the community to spend locally. As the platform gained momentum, so too did Bronte's passion for uniting the community... and Shire Scout was born.

There is no other platform that offers a guide to the Sutherland Shire quite like Shire Scout. Combining beautiful photography with tailored content, Shire Scout tells the story of what it’s like to be a local.

Shire Scout website and social channels work to encourage locals to explore all the Sutherland Shire has to offer and provides Shire-based businesses with a unique opportunity to communicate their products and services. 

On the website, you will find bespoke editorial pieces and business directories, as well as a collection of photographic prints of iconic neighbourhood spots. As Shire Scout has grown and developed, a demand for additional support has led to the creation of our sister business, Scout Socials; a boutique creative agency offering social media management, content creation, branding, copywriting and web design. Our close-knit team uses our combined knowledge of the local market to help clients build a strong brand presence within the community.

Shire Scout stays on the pulse, offering authentic and honest insights to ensure their relationship with their audience is fostered and continues to grow. Shire Scout cherishes their loyal community and puts their support and trust at the forefront of all they do.

Shire Scout should be considered as a friend, a source you can rely on and look to for help.
