Scout Elf


Guardians of Christmas Cheer

About

Scout Elves are Santa’s trusted eyes and ears, keeping a close watch on the world’s Christmas cheer—especially in children! These magical helpers perfectly match the personality of the family that adopts them, easily recognized by their iconic red suit, white mittens, and white-trimmed hats. Their magic comes from the Lumistella Stone, a comet that broke from the Christmas Star, and once a family gives them a real name, their heart is supercharged with love, allowing them to fly. Only Scout Elves have the honor of becoming The Elf on the Shelf®, tracking Christmas cheer and helping Santa year after year.
