  • 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.

    Crawl

    I suspect I may have mentioned this earlier, but the events of the last few weeks have injected it back into my awareness. We took the Scout 80 which we bought 59+ years ago to Harvester in the Holler in Tennessee last month. Part of that event includes some trail rides that include some steep...

    Auto-dimming Headlights

    Auto-dimming headlights have been around so long now that we all just expect them to work. On some vehicles, however, they also dim when slowing below 20mph or going around a tight curve. That perhaps is fine in urban situations, for us rural dwellers with long steep curvy driveways it's a...

    Green Spaghetti & Ham

    As the owner of several Scout 80s I cry out that the wiring be multicoloured and easily traceable. Scout people like to add to their vehicles, many addons are electrical, we need to be able to find an appropriate hot wire in the closest harness. Colour coding is a start, even better is wire...
