That’s the problem with this configuration. As my FIL used to say, “You are the first one at the accident”.

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.
But your body will then become the crumple zone for all of the cargo in the back. So you could make the argument that this is actually a really "cargo-forward" type of setup
A couple summers ago, Mark Rober started an offshoot of his Crunchlabs channel called Camp Crunchlabs. The idea was that it was like a summer camp and you could sign up your kids and then he put out a video each weekend where he had guest scientists on and they did science experiments and basically destroyed the set by the end of the summer.Super cool.
Mark and I lived in the same area after I graduated from college and were involved in helping out the same youth group for a few years. I won’t claim to know him super well, but I saw him once or twice a week for a few years, and was conversational with him.
We did some activities together (I got to shoot the huge nerf gun he made), and some of his older videos showcase some of the youth that I worked with as "helpers". And a few other random connections with him as well.
Its fun to show the kiddos of mine his videos, and say "oh hey, I know that guy".
Good guy, happy to see him get another good thing going.
I signed up my daughter who was 12 at the time. At the end of each weekly video, Mark would give the campers a challenge to make a video of their own doing an activity or experiment that he would give the theme for. Then you would send in your video and he would review all of them and feature a montage of short clips from what he considered the best videos he got each week. He would choose one winner each week who would receive a golden ticket and that person would get an all expenses paid trip to come and be on the final episode show and participate in the experiments on the show. We did some cool projects that summer including:
1. Made a super large marble speedway out of cardboard that ran down our property, across the lawn, across the driveway, over our pool deck, etc. It was at least several hundred feet long.
2. Built a giant slingshot using our swingset legs and a rubber stretchy excersise device that would shoot tennis balls at the side of our garage.
3. One week he gave the assignment to make a house of cards and then destroy it in a creative way. We made a deck of giant cards using poster boards and built a huge house with them in our driveway. Since we knew that Mark liked watermelon, we made a track out my daughter's second floor window just above the driveway and rolled a watermelon out the window onto the house of giant cards below, knocking it down and smashing the watermelon. It was really fun and the video came out great.
We didn't win the trip to be on the show, but we did get a few clips of our videos featured on the weekly montages on the show, and we had fun and built some neat projects.
