  • 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.

    Gen 1 font vs Gen 2 font

    Agree. The inspiration for my post was nostalgia driven. Just my specific time frame of Scout nostalgia haha

    Gen 1 font vs Gen 2 font

    Exactly - To me it is very strange to see the script version on a revival of Scout. I kind of figured it was to honor the beginnings but it just does not fit right.

    Gen 1 font vs Gen 2 font

    The script version was first thing I noticed when the news broke there would be Scout motors. Now we see it everywhere. I don't mind it - just not my favorite !

    Gen 1 font vs Gen 2 font

    I grew up with Scout II so its probably the reason why - but I am partial to the 2nd generation Scout Font. Is the old font a sealed deal for Gen 3 Scout?

    Scout Quality

    to your thoughts are my feelings exactly! My dad took us on vacation all over America in his 79 Scout II. He then came to the farm dropped the tailgate, lifted the lift gate, put the rear seat up and loaded square bales of hay to go feed the cows! Digging through red clay the whole way. It was...

    no I do not own it. I could be mistaking you for another last day Scout owner who has it repainted white. I have met him at the homecoming and the nationals. Sorry about that
