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.
Maybe it’s one of those blacks that looks blue in certain lights?
Okay all changing gears so to speak. 
I thought i would give a little love to the last Traveler that was parked behind the Scout Traveler. The owner was there and you could tell how proud he was. My husband was taking pictures and he was pointing things out to him to make sure he didn’t miss anything. He also opened and closed the door for me so I could hear how solid it was when it closed.
He said it took him 4 years for the restoration. That he had someone do it and they fit it in among their other work and he said that worked better for him so he was able to pay as he went along.
The first picture that is the owner by the passenger door. The gentleman in the grey baseball hat.

I did not expect the interior to be tan. It just shows how SM really took their cues from the originals.
Found a reveal shot and wheel looks black in this one but I like the idea of a blueish charcoal rim treatment
I checked my pics. I have a top down but it was daylight so lights don’t show up
And then the touches I liked the most were the painted accents he added. He said it was done by hand by a man named Forest “Frosty” Harrington from Knoxville, Iowa. An 80 year old man who still does artwork on race cars and vehicles by hand. It was just beautiful work. And FYI he told me you can find Frosty on Facebook and he is still painting.
Oh and then for those of you who would like to see what’s under the hood of the last Traveler, here you go.
Pinstriping really is a dying art.
Freehanding symmetrical shapes and straight lines in one go is such an incredible thing to witness.
I hope some new Scouts get some pinstriping love from those old timers before they retire.
It was gorgeous and that’s why I got the gentleman’s name. It’s a consideration.
The Facebook page of the gentleman who did the artwork on the last Scout.
It is a dying art and I have total respect for but that said I had hand painted stripes on a Nissan pathfinder and was hit. Car was in shop like an extra week until the guy could get there to paint 2 door panels and a front quarter panel. Was a nightmare
Uh you do realize we all now want to see pictures of the artwork on said Pathfinder…
It was literally a thick and thin stripe, nothing high end. I love watching those guys run lines and curves. Such talent
Here's more of the back story on the last Scout: https://blog.scoutmotors.com/the-last-international-scout/
If it wasn't mentioned already, this Scout was used in the Scout Revival commercial. Also, they used a "stunt double" in the commercial that was "aged" to look like it might have back in the day.
I chatted with the owner, Mike Bolton, at Nationals. He said they let him be the security guard in the commercial!
How fun! I love all this back story on everything. It’s amazing!
Mike was such a nice man. Just speaking with him you could see how proud he was of his Scout. As he should be!
