Case Study: Boy Scouts of Greater St. Louis achieves seamless, reliable WiFi across six locations with Datto Networking (Open Mesh)

Boy Scouts of Greater St. Louis - Customer Case Study

The Boy Scouts of America Greater St. Louis Area Council struggled with spotty WiFi across six locations after years of consumer-grade routers and a piecemeal setup—multiple passwords, inconsistent coverage, and no centralized management. Deputy Scout Executive Andy Zahn enlisted volunteer Tim Weaver to find an affordable, enterprise-grade solution that would provide continuity for staff and volunteers moving between offices and camps.

Weaver deployed Open Mesh (a Datto company) A60 access points—six at the stone-headquarters and more than forty across five additional sites—creating a single, seamless network with one login and automatic roaming. The rollout delivered reliable coverage indoors and outdoors, improved connectivity for staff and week-long volunteers at camps, eliminated repeated logins, and provided an affordable, low-maintenance solution ideal for a non-profit.
