Griffin & Scout: A Team for Griffin
Big changes feel a little less scary when you don’t face them alone.
Meet Griffin and Scout—best friends learning that even when everything feels unfamiliar, caring people can help you find your footing.
Meet the team
A little boy. A much-loved bear. One brave step at a time.
This is a story about uncertainty, courage, and the steady people who help children feel heard and supported.
Curious, thoughtful, and five years old.
Griffin loves toy cars, pancakes, and going on adventures—but this new adventure wasn’t one he chose. He carries big feelings, important questions, and Scout.
A familiar friend in an unfamiliar place.
Scout is Griffin’s favorite teddy bear and steady companion. Wherever Griffin goes, Scout goes too—tucked under his arm and always close.
Griffin may not know what happens next—but he does not have to face it alone.
