  • 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.

    Looks great, @Rich McArdle! Curious about your disc brake upgrade - did you use a kit or build your own? I need to do that on my #tuff66 this summer.

    Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scouts

    Speaking of parades.... There were (14) 800a's in Nixon's Inaugural parade in 1969. I contacted the Nixon Library to see if they had any add'l photos or footage but they weren't able to find any. I'm sure there's some out there.

    Vintage Scout Cross Country Road Trip

    Last year, my wife tossed out the idea of us driving my '66 Scout along Rt 66 when I'm age 66 (in 2028). Love the idea but we'll have to see. 😬 Would def need to put some drive-ability $ into the Scout. Probably would drive out and have it shipped back. Or maybe we could just drive a Harvester...

    Show us your holiday spirit and/or Xmas tree

    A few years ago, my wife bought this "Christmas Tree" wall decor. I fixed it for her. :D

    Show us your holiday spirit and/or Xmas tree

    I've had this elf doll since my childhood (before I knew what a Scout was) but I was today years old when I learned that they were called "Scout Elves"! It's only fitting, then, that he would have a Scout to ride in!!! ;) Merry Christmas, everyone!

    Off-topic stuff…

    It appears so. 2000+ posts by my rough estimate. Crazy!
