Gaggle is a revolutionary new child safety service to help families and groups keep track of each other.

The app includes these features:
- Tracks that kids are near, but does not broadcast their location
- Arrange kids into groups with chaperones
- Move kids between groups
- Alerts when someone goes out of range
- Simple contacting of other chaperones
- Links to Gaggle bracelets (sold separately)

After being one of many chaperones on a field trip with a class of 125 elementary school kids we had the opportunity to see the challenges of monitoring both large and small groups. This experience has inspired our company to develop a solution to this problem using smart phones that most chaperones already carry.

Children on field trips wear our Gaggle Beacon - a Bluetooth transmitter that does not send actual location data - purchased from us separately. Chaperones on the excursion will use this mobile application that is linked to your bracelets allowing them to know when a child has moved out of range.

If a child does become separated from the group, their primary chaperone will be alerted before they have a chance to wander too far away, and the alert can be escalated.

What makes our service unique is that all the chaperones are linked to one another. This means if a child moves between groups, their chaperone will know that the child is not actually lost. Chaperones will be able to communicate and coordinate either moving the child between their groups in the app or meeting in person to swap kids back.

Gaggle keeps groups together. Great for school field trips, camps, family outings, sightseeing, travel, theme parks, water parks, and more.

Never worry that someone has drifted from the group, or that someone is left behind.
