Welcome and Introductions!

Just made my reservation and can't wait!

Grew up hanging out in my grandfather's International Dealership and learned to drive (at age 7) in the Scout they used as a shop vehicle!
Purely a nostalgia purchase for me!

Welcome aboard! That's a cool story. I'm a second generation owner of a tractor and equipment dealership. We had IH in the 80s and that is what I grew up on.

Welcome to the community! That’s an awesome legacy to be continuing. I’m counting down the days with you!

Welcome! I'm in the same camp. Nostalgia purchase, mostly, though for me, my current Tundra will be approaching 10 years old when the Scouts arrive, so it will be time for a new vehicle anyway.

Welcome! Out of curiosity, was your grandfather's International Dealership a car dealership or primarily an International tractor dealership? When my dad bought his Scout in the 60's, the locals bought their Scouts from a tractor supply, Boggs Tractor Supply. There was not a sales lot (mostly just a barn-like building). He just placed an order with the options he wanted. Of course by the time I bought mine in 1979, it was an International car dealership.

It was a farm implement/tractor shop. He sold very few Scouts.
I went from moving farm equipment around with an old Farmall Super M tractor so I could mow the grass, to running around in that old Scout!

IMO, it was kind of like how Harley Davidson started out: "We're going to sell you our version of a Jeep that you can probably work on yourself later."

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.

I feel late to the game. I reserved a Traveler Harvester and I hope the reservation number doesn’t indicate my place in line.
We are currently in Oregon and retiring to AZ next year. Already have visions of how this new addition will fit into our plans.
I currently drive a 2017 BMW i3 REX and have been trying to decide what to replace with as we approach the end of the 10 year battery warranty. I had been really discouraged by the lack of Range Extender options on the market and then the campaign for Scout landed in my feed.
A little research and my deposit was paid.

Welcome to the community! It was stated somewhere, don’t ask me where, that the reservation numbers were auto generated and did not indicate a “place in line”. The numbers are just random is my understanding.

I have also reserved the Traveler with the Harvester. Can’t wait!

Welcome again.

Welcome to the forum. As others have said, follow along with Jamie and we always say take advantage of the search button as it will provide oodles of background info to probably anything you can think of. But eventually you’ll realize you have a new, genius idea that nobody has thought of in over two years
Again-welcome to the scout family!
