June 2026 Scout Production Center Update

  • 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 Scoutsâ„¢. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
Mmmmmm-strawberry rhubarb. Shoefly is one-the other is a bit of a trick question
Do the Amish do pork pies or meat pies? My southwestern NY family passed a recipe down for a delicious pork pie that I love at the holidays. Didn't know if there was any regional correlation.

They do mincemeat which typically is now dried fruit and other stuff but back in the day and maybe in their own homes it’s dried fruit and scraps of meat. I’ve had the all fruit but never the mix which is just odd to me personally. That was a good question though. They also make corn pies and chicken pies which may be more than just Amish.
I’ll let guessing keep going on the other one and it tends to be a debate on the name because New England states call it something different

My wife's family in RI do pork pies quite a bit. I definitely don't see that here in the mid-Atlantic. I completely forgot about mincemeat pies - I haven't had one of those in a long time.

I remember an oatmeal pie when I lived in Pittsburgh - could that be it?
 
And for any gf people gluten free Oreos, regular and golden make a bomb cheesecake crust.
I was going to ask what you use for crusts... Beat me to it, haha. Now I want cheesecake. Luckily, my wife made a to-die-for chocolate cake yesterday, so I'll survive.

Speaking of pies that aren't pies. I wouldn't mind some Boston Cream Pie about now either, but it's definitely more of a cake and the Amish certainly aren't taking credit for that one.

22 Oreos blitz in the blender or food processor until you have crumbs. Move to a bowl. Mix in 5 to 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Press in the bottom of your springform pan and bake for 15 ish minutes.

For the plain cheesecake I use the juniors copycat recipe. Uses cornstarch instead of flour to thicken.

Thankfully, gluten isn't an issue in our household, but it sounds like you're doing a normal Oreo crust, just using GF, so that's easy enough. I'm guessing there's aren't any good substitutes for graham cracker crusts?

There are gf graham crackers but I haven’t found a good one yet. They turn into concrete when you make the crust out of them.
