New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

  • 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.
So I spent the day in Annapolis today. Took a schooner sail then walked down town. Someone mentioned regional influences the other day and I had mentioned sail cloth. Anyway-walked into a shop that had women’s bags of different sizes and uses but all were made with used sailcloth. Most were from France but inside each bag was a tag the listed the boats name and the areas of Europe it sailed. Some amazing patterns and color accents and started thinking again how cool a material like sailcloth could be. (No pictures-sales team hovered over us the whole time-apparently we look really wealthy or we look like shoplifters-neither true but anyway). Did find a few examples online
I live in Annapolis. I have so many sail bags. Had a friend who was a sail maker. You knew what Christmas gifts were going to be. Mutual friend had a sailcloth shower liner and his wife had a sailcloth mini-skirt.... Of course, these were all mylar(ish) synthetic-based, not canvas.

Awesome. Love Annapolis. But parking on a Navy/Towson home football game day-NOT AT ALL 🤣

That’s odd because they don’t touch those in our yard. Primarily the tree of heaven and maple trees and fruit trees
Mostly the nymph stage are all over my hydrangias. We've tried everything environmentally friendly. Dove and water seem to work, but that's not preventative, you have to spray the actual fly.
 
  • Wow

It’s probably been nearly 10 years since we were last there but I love the water so we will start coming more often. Much cheaper to do a schooner ride in the bay every couple years than to purchase a boat and pay annual slip fees

You had beautiful weather for it though! We're a few miles outside of downtown on the north side. We don't go down into Annapolis if we can help it during games or other special events. We also have to live according to the beach traffic schedule and the Bay Bridge.

Yup. I love OPBs. (other people's boats). I used to crew on sailboats doing the weekly races. Way too much upkeep and money.

It was for sure the perfect day to be on the bay. As a kid I spent a lot of weekends on the bay, my dad had a small bay liner when we were very young g kids but I have those memory glimpses here and there. Then spent teenage years on the Susquehanna River so water in the blood (open water, not that essential to life kind of water). Enjoyed Annapolis. Maybe when a bunch of us in PA/MD have our scouts we should plan a water side meet up

Gotta say, my dad’s last boat was a whaler he sold about 7 years ago in Myrtle beach area. I did pause and stare at the whalers in the storefront downtown while visiting. And my wife loved their newer Seafoam green hull color. Should have asked for one while she was weak 🤣. But then no money for Scout to haul it around

I really like the “Mountainside” a lot - a personal favorite (hope it will be a selection?). Wondering if it helps solve the “too-wide-for-me” setup that may appear on other Traveler models - I live near a long narrow road with delivery vehicles and trucks that will cream extended side mirrors. So, does the Mountainside allow a bit narrower extended full width? (Or digital interior-placed side mirrors available as an option down the road to narrow down the total width just a bit?)
