Frequently Asked Questions
What is Puddle Scouts?
Puddle Scouts is an organization dedicated to creating safe, welcoming events and gatherings for the Chicagoland ABDL community. We also strive to provide support to community members and charities in need.
Our mission is to promote pride, diversity, and inclusivity within the community through education and collaborative, kink-positive initiatives.
What is the Chicago Troop?
The "Chicago Troop" represents our Chicagoland ABDL community. While we actively support local groups across the United States and beyond, we currently have no plans to expand "troops" into other states.
If you're interested in starting your own local group, feel free to reach out to us for advice!
Can I volunteer to help?
Absolutely! Puddle Scouts is always looking for passionate individuals with unique skills to help make a difference. We're excited to collaborate with those who share our mission and enthusiasm.
To get involved, simply send us a message through our "Contact Us" form, and we'll be happy to connect!
How can I donate?

Your generosity helps us continue our work and assist members of our community in need. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference, and we truly appreciate your support!
Is Puddle Scouts a tax-exempt organization?
Although Puddle Scouts is a non-profit organization, we have not yet obtained tax-exempt status. If you wish to make a donation and require a tax deduction, please reach out to us. We would be happy to discuss options to accommodate your needs!
Who can come to the events?
Everyone is welcome at our events! While we are focused on the queer ABDL community in Chicago, we do not discriminate based on sexuality. If you don't identify as LGBTQ+, you are still invited as a member of the ABDL or kink community.
We are strong advocates for kinky crossover, so if you're a kinky individual curious about diapers, feel free to join us! We’re excited to have people from all walks of life and interests come together.
