What is a pageant scout? Pageant Manager?
Pageant scouts are official recruiters who search for talent on behalf of the pageant. Managers search for talent, but they go a step further and help prepare the contestant for competition. They ARE NOT authorized to accept payments for participation. Managers and Scouts may work as independent contractors and charge for pageant "coaching" or "image consulting," but they are not authorized to accept any required fees for registration or fees towards the National Package.
