"He's Actually Happy About Having Friends Now!"
I get messages like this every week from parents.
Kids in our weekly meetup program are communicating better, having fewer meltdowns, and are excited to make friends finally!
Being a Parent is Freakin' HARD Sometimes
You love your kids... but sometimes they can push you to your limits.
You want them to make friends, have fun, and learn the social skills they're going to need in life. BUT it doesn't always work out that way. Some kids struggle to make friends and others are isolated in remote or home-school and don't have a great opportunity to socialize.
Your kids are likely already using games and other tech to talk to others — and it's scary to think about who they are meeting online.
Boo's Battalion is a Great Alternative!
We provide a secure space designed just for kids ages 6 to 17 to find friends.

Hi! I'm Samantha Blount
I started Boo's Battalion because my daughter became one of the scary stastics — one of 40% of kids that talk to strangers online.
She struggled so hard to make friends that she resorted to giving an online stranger her phone number because she thought it was the only way she could make a friend.
I found ways to help my own daughter use technology to connect with other kids, and now I'm on a mission to help other families find new ways to help their kids. See you inside!

Top Questions & Answers
Here are some of the most common questions that we get asked. If you don't see an answer to your specific question, contact us!
- 1How much time will I need to invest into this each week? What's the schedule?
You'll have a "Rally Point" call once a week with your squad for 30 minutes. Most parents find that after a month of attending these calls regularly, they actually save time each week because their kids are more clearly able to communicate with fewer meltdowns. - 2What ages are allowed to join Boo's Battalion?
We accept kids from 6 to 17 years old. Kids are broken up into squads with kids that are close to the same age. - 3How does it work? What actually happens on the weekly calls?
It's a structured conversation each week on a variety of topics. We practice skills like taking chances, asking questions, describing things like their feelings and needs, patience, following directions, and more.
We have "brain breaks" to get them up moving around so they aren't just sitting still the whole time. And we also play games like charades and other thinking/moving games to help them improve their communication and teamwork skills.
