The Winnovators (is that how it's spelled?) is a team that does something similar. They develop a scouting app and they let basically anyone use it as long as those teams that use it share the data they collect. They are a small team and they don't have to have scouters necessarily. Many teams big or small would be happy to have three more scouters. From the scout teams I've met at events, they tend to be friendly. Try to find a team at each event to work with. Odds are, they'll let you have their data if you are supplying half of the scout team.
