My Goal for Boo
I'm on a mission to create a rally point for socially diverse kids to make friends and learn soft skills that can help them throughout life.
Parenting SUCKS Sometimes
You will always love your kids — but sometimes it can be really hard to like them.
And it's even worse when your kids have challenges. It's hard to communicate with them, harder for them to communicate with other kids, and you feel like it's never going to change.
I created Boo's Battalion to gives kids from 6 to 17 years old a place to make friends, relax, and improve their social skills.
The Result? Kids in our program are communicating better, having fewer meltdowns, and are excited to make friends finally!
Boo's Battallion is a Great Place for Kids
Affordable
Your first month is free - after that it's only $19.97 per month and you can cancel anytime.
Safe
I interview every parent & child before joining and we have lots of safeguards in place to keep our kids safe.
Fun
Socially-diverse kids finally have a place that's fun where they can learn social skills and make 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.
