Scout Concepts in Blythewood, South Carolina, April 20, 2026

The 4 10s schedule is nice for those within the agency that are primarily office bound… maxi-flex is a little confusing for fieldwork based work, at least for me lol… so I’m sticking with straight 8s… hardest part is remembering to submit for OT and TCTO when I’m deployed…

It is horribly confusing!! I have such a love/hate relationship with maxiflex. I now have my planned schedule in PeoplePlus as straight 8s but do 4 10s. But before xmas I had my planned schedule as the 4 10s and when we got the extra day for xmas I needed to move vacation around to make up the difference between the 8 hours of holiday they gave us and the 10 hours of vacation I had needed. But I couldn't put vacation on my CDOs so I had nowhere to put it. It was almost Feb before it got straightened out. With straight 8s I can put vacation on any day. Sorry if all that is as clear as mud

I have sooo many corrections to make over the next several weeks… we’re down on manpower and getting site IDs setup and accounts added to peopleplus is at a standstill… I can’t even get TOs setup for my contractors right now… life’s great, everything’s fine…

yep - I'm laughing so I don't cry right now for sure. All we can do is do our best and keep each other's spirits up. Fingers crossed for us all

I have a feeling the new look will be Spirit of 76'

Don't ask why I feel this but I do

There’s been enough winking emojis to get me on your boat as well.

But it’s not July yet. Wouldn’t they wait till closer to the 4th of July?

250th anniversary of US so anytime soon would work

Nope. The tour calendar is probably full. And I’m guessing it will be at DC.

The Traveler is going to be living up to it's name. I'm not sure where the concepts were after the LA show, but @CP1@scoutmotors said the Traveler would be on the road from California to SC and likely would not make the Columbia shows on Saturday and Sunday (April 18 and 19), but would be at Blythewood on Monday. Then it's back across the country to Scottsdale? Sheesh.

Maybe the concepts were getting their do over after the LA show.

The Traveler was the same in December in Chicago as the auto show. So maybe after the holidays? . I just can’t wait for you all to start sending pictures!!

Didn't Jamie post a picture recently from a commercial shoot of the traveller as it appeared in LA just with the tire carrier

I can’t imagine taking the Scout to that DC circus. With all the political unrest the event at DC is a fuse waiting to be lit and I’d hate to fend off the two Scouts if any kind of rioting would occur.

Yes he did. The tire carrier is the same on the Traveler, just sometimes it has a tire in it and sometimes it has the backpack in it. We haven’t seen one without a tire carrier yet.

Especially if it’s the 4th of July holiday.

With me in my red and black flannel uniform and the raccoon hat which has been made. No rioting would be likely to happen anywhere near the Scouts. Rioters would come up and be instantly taken out by bear spray and the brut force of my spurs on my boots that I will be wearing.
