6-ScoutFamily’s Scouting Memories

  • 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.

I’m going through my dad’s old slides and I decided to share some of the family’s Scout adventures. All but two in this first group is the ‘72 Scout II, 345/4-speed.

Loading up the scout for a work week on the cabin build (Gieseltop) in the Westcliff, CO area. Date is June 1973.

The approach to the cabin property. The 25 acres drapes over most of the visible hill, but the cabin site is up in the trees at the end of the road, completely invisible from almost everywhere in this little valley.

Batterboards on cabin site, Scout in the background. Sangre De Christo mountains in the background. July 1973

Stuck in the snow at cabin, Dec. 30, 1973

Jeep, Scout, Jerry cans, my Dad.

Somewhere along the Colorado river (I think). Look close and see two Jerry cans on the front and one on the spare tire carrier.
(you WILL respect the 345) 😜

Climbing up the Devils Lane in Canyonlands. 1976 Scout II, Dads fourth of four Scouts. April 1976.

Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy looking at old photos, such timeless photos of vacation, family, and Scouts.
