From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
Will definitely be watching it! Great to see Scout being showcased more and more.
My husband is downloading all the videos for me and saving them so I have a place to watch them all. Another one to add. Thank you Jamie! Love it.
Excellent segment, I had the pleasure to speak to the family during the reveal, not sure who was more blessed, the son who had the opportunity to have these experiences as a child and have the chance to restore it for his dad, or when the dad received the restored scout confirmed that he had done right raising his son. Both were great to chat with-what a special bond! CBS did a great feature, it will be interesting to see how this would impact more interest from prior non-car people who caught this on the mainstream media.
Wait up, @Jamie@ScoutMotors is it possible for Scout motors to make a USB drive with every video leading up to production launch? And it can be in a welcome package in the Scouts for reservation holders?
It was a wonderful way to introduce the brand to more folks. And every time I see someone drive it I want to be behind that wheel even more.
Reposting because it didn’t post right
That would be amazing! So just to recap: we would like a print of the original artwork, a USB drive with all the videos leading up to release on it, special swag for forum members and reservations holders, a Lego or Hot Wheels version of the new Scout. What other wishes do we have everybody?

Lets add a Stainless steel water bottle with color match to your Scout, with a laser etched Scout logo on it.
I like that. Very useful. My wife received a color matched stainless steel Yeti water bottle with her 2022 Maverick. Has a place right in the drivers door to securely place it vertical.
Wait until you see the full video we made about Jason and Dale Jackson. It is a tearjerker and one of my favorites. Coming Soon!
I requested cooler in body matched color that also locks into rail glides on rear floor. Maybe mini SMEG refrigerators for camping that are color matched as well. That would be cool. Not for free obviously but for cool factor. And also color matched truck nutz (laughing emoji)
Can’t wait to see it. I have one comment about the segment from this morning. They mentioned a range extender but I didn’t hear wheee they say that it was gas. If you didn’t know you would think it was an electric only vehicle. Just for the next segment that it’s on I thought I would mention that. That gas extender gets rid of that range anxiety some of us have and it’s helpful to know that.
We have little control over how they decide to edit the segment. There was quite a bit of footage that didn't make it, but I think when you visit our website you get a good idea of what we offer.

Thanks for the clarification. Always appreciate you being so responsive.
Seems like a good strategy.... hold Jamie back from the ads until the product is ready and it's time for the "big guns" push! *grin*
For the type of segment it was I think it was really good!
Wow, what a great segment!
@Jamie@ScoutMotors did they get to see the Concepts and drive them? And are they getting the new Scouts for free? Or is it an even playing field?
They got to see the concepts at the reveal event as they were invited by us to attend. It is an even playing field right after I get mine. 
The story and video on the Jackson family will come out later today.
