Scouting Guide

IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. All scouting activities have to be done in Public Rooms only.
  2. Scouting through Habbo DMs (Direct Messages) is not allowed.
  3. Valid screenshot(s) must include:
    • A. Screenshot of conversation
      • Must include your invitation to join and the response of the potential recruit, whether it’s a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’.
    • B. Screenshot of public profile
      • The potential recruit’s profile must be set to PUBLIC to ensure that they are not working for another agency.
    • C. Device’s timestamp
      • Must clearly show the device’s date and time to prevent reusing of old logs.
  4. When using an alternate account (ALT) for scouting, be sure to have it registered here and have the SS Undercover badge.
  5. Please use https://postimages.org/ or any other image-sharing platform that allows compiling multiple images and is accessible to everyone. (Note: Imgur is blocked in the UK.)
1. Location
  1. Open the navigator and go to “All Rooms”.
  2. Pick a room with a high population to maximize your scouting efforts.
    • NOTE: Do NOT scout in other agencies.
      • This is called poaching and will lead to disciplinary action.

• Timestamp: Your device’s date and time must be visible.

If possible, assist them through the process of joining the Secret Service.

4. Logging

Once you’ve completed the scouting process, refer to the Scouting Logs board guide to log it.

IMPORTANT
– Getting a “YES” from the person you are trying to scout does not mean it is a SUCCESSFUL scout.
– PASSED training log attachment is required.

Refer to boards guide under the Scouting logs.
