WiFi Direct could be used to establish a mesh network between the scouts' mobile devices to facilitate information sharing and reporting.

1. Data transmission: WiFi Direct can be used to transmit larger data, such as voice and video, between devices at higher speeds and greater distances than Bluetooth.
2. Network formation: WiFi Direct can be used to form a mesh network between the devices. This would allow data to be transmitted directly between devices, creating a self-organizing network even in remote environments where there is no access to the internet.
3. Trust mechanisms: WiFi Direct supports authentication and encryption, which can be leveraged to establish trust between devices and secure the network.
4. Reduced latency: By establishing direct connections between devices, WiFi Direct can reduce latency and increase the speed at which data can be transmitted, making it ideal for real-time information exchange, such as location updates.
