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.
This has been one of my favorite threads to follow. This really embraces the ethos of Scout, adventure, community, family to name a few. Tha ks for sharing!
When you have your top down, you can expect rain… that’s why the tarp.

Exactly. I see these and just wish I even had some basic photos of my/our Scout. It’s funny-for years my dad did photography (even had a dark room in our basement to develop all his prints) focused on the local Amish where I grew up but he took very few of the vehicles we had over his lifetime and at nearly 85 I don’t see him ever doing photography again so kind of a bummer. As I say this I think I should take more photos of our vehicles.
I need to start books with years etc. someday the family will go through them and there will be people they dont know.
Camping in Monument Valley.
September 1965
My brother, me, and Mom.
And of course the trusty ‘62.

That’s quite the pavilion/structure that they had back then
That would be great to see more of that kind of stuff this day and age but never any budgets for those amenities. Nice to have whatever can be found though
A better view of the chuck box in the back of the ‘62.
I think all of these are from September of ‘66.
Imogene pass
Scout at the top of Engineer mountain.
The description on the slide says it all. And now the story.
You will notice the meadow is labeled “Cable Release Park”. This is a name given by a friend of ours who had camped here in an earlier year and lost a cable release for his camera. The next year he was here he camped in the same spot… and found the lost cable release. Uncompagre peak in the background is #6 of the Colorado 14-ers, 14,306’ above sea level. I’ve been on the top of that. Even my very young self had it tough getting up there. The view was unbelievable.
These last two is the ‘62 in its native habitat.

Think I forgot to insert a slide. This is the Cable Release Park slide.

If SM decides to do another round on vintage photo's I hope they catch wind of this thread!
I LOVE these pictures. Thank you so much for sharing such personal photos with us public people. I personally love and am very interested to see these Scouts out in the wild back in the day. And by you sharing your family just makes it all more personal. Thank you
