Okay is it laser engraved or burned in like a branding iron on wood?

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.
I’m sure ours are laser because the detail and line weight is amazing. Ours are done on bamboo boards too if I’m recalling correctly
One of the reasons I hope the Scout badges in the seats seen in the concepts is optional at all trim and package levels. I would have to tear them out on day one even in northern Arizona.
That would be cool, your Scout would be able to tell its own story (with owner permission to turn on/off location tracking) so it would “unlock” badges at certain mileages or when you visit specific places.
Yikes… I have a strict rule in my truck, armrests are for arms, not sunglasses, drinks, or the occasional ketchup packet for your fries. Metal plaques would be a hard no!
I’m thinking somewhere below or inside the glovebox not hidden but somewhere people who know would be able to see it.
Yep, they do the same here in Texas, nothing like catching the back of your arm on a seatbelt buckle that’s 900° and burns off the hair when it gets you.
Exactly. And someday someone see everything their “new to them” Scout did and/or visited. And as you eluded to with owner permission it would be cool if this forum added threads for various locations/accomplishments and once you get the digital badge you get invited to that thread to chat with other owners who accomplished same thing. And maybe they aren’t all off-road actions but regional spots just to see who travels the most in their Scouts. And I will say, add Canadian locations as well because I need more incentives to see more of Canada. Loved the areas I’ve already been to.
Thus they should be optional for the people who love them. I think they’re pretty to look at, but couldn’t have them in my vehicle.
Don't they have plates like this in the original Scouts? I feel like I've seen pictures of those. So it would be one more thing tying back to the OG brand/heritage. Maybe it's something everyone gets & installation location is an option?
Standard location would be in the door frame - like where tire pressure info stickers go (based on Cyure's caption from Chicago, that's where I assume it is in the concepts) - or if you wanted it more visible so you can brag to people (lol), on the door next to the cubby? In the frunk? I'm sure there's lots of spots where it could be displayed discreetly.

This is also a very cool idea, regardless of the ID plates. It's like an odometer on steroids. Obviously there'd need to be considerations for privacy, but could definitely be made generic enough that you wouldn't have to worry about transferring ownership (waaay in the future, hahaha).
The original post said (tongue-in-cheek I assume) the plaques have community post stats included, but with this UX timeline, you could totally link your account here to share badges/achievements/etc. Optional of course for those who don't mind (over-)sharing.
