1968 Scout 800, from a field in Redding

'68 800, 196-4 4spd., Hamilton TBI, 4 wheel discs, Volvo seats, electric wipers, 14 circuit harness. The body was pretty bashed up by the O/O, it was a true work truck. Doing what I can to salvage the remaining paint.
  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout 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 debate is welcomed and often produces 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.
  • Welcome Guest to the Scout Registry!

    Our goal is to create the largest Scout Registry in the world. If you own a Scout, regardless of year or condition, we want to see it.

    Just click on the "Add Vehicle" button and you can start the process. You can add a Title (your user name, model year, etc.), Brief Description (color name, model year, model) and a "Tell Us More About Your Scout:" where you can enter in your backstory, details about your Scout, modifications, restoration history, fun ownership stories and photos of your vehicle. You can also come back and modify or add to your registry entry at any time.

    Also, please upload photos if you have them. You can also embed the photos into your story that you create so that people can see larger versions.

    We look forward to seeing and hearing more about your Scout!

Tell us about your Scout:

This is the third Scout I've had in my life. First was our 76 Terra that my dad replaced the body panels & installed 4wd for my brother's 16th birthday... I learned to drive on that rig.

Second was our '79 Scout II... Dad taught me metalwork, bodywork, and welding when we replaced the body mounts & welded in new floors. I used to take it 4 wheeling on the Tank trails at Ft. McCoy, WI in the early 90's. Strongest truck I've owned.

My 800 took 18 months from delivery to licensing. I didn't even know if it ran when I bought it... but like every other Scout on the road, it wanted to Run. It's my favorite vehicle I've owned by far.

I get a ton of smiles when I drive it, but the biggest is mine.
