Scout Media was an integrated sports

North American Membership Group which later rebranded to Scout Media.[3] Scout filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2016 and was then acquired by CBS Corporation (now Paramount Global) in February 2017 for $9.5 million after submitting the only bid for the bankrupt company.[2] Paramount later folded Scout into 247Sports, with Scout.com redirecting to the site.[4]
