Does Scout Motors Need A Challenge Coin Too?

  • 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.

Does Scout Motors Need A Challenge Coin Too?


Dealers Vow To Fight Direct Sales


"...And the new chair of the National Automobile Dealers Association, Tom Castriota, made one thing clear: This aggression will not stand, man. And Castriota has help in the Senate from a key ally..."

Castriota asked dealers to carry an NADA challenge coin, which they were given on their way into the hall for his address, to symbolize their common cause. Challenge coins are a military tradition, given by commanding officers in recognition of allegiance, appreciation and respect.

As Castriota leads NADA this year as chairman, he’ll have a new advocate for dealers on Capitol Hill in Sen. Bernie Moreno, who said he’s the first auto retailer elected to the Senate. Moreno is a former car dealer from Ohio.

“The franchise model has been the most effective retail distribution network ever in the history of sales,” Moreno said. “It is something we should honor and respect.

I saw that too. Must have found a tailgate to sneak into.
It’s absolutely ridiculous, it’s flooding every main topic. Luckily they haven’t make it into the sub topics. But what’s scary is that it started right after security was mentioned in the extra extra extra subtopic, about Subaru car software being hacked.
 
@OleScout showed me the vintage Scout pin which is cool. Maybe a traveler pin with this image

Yeah, it sucks. I'm not even going to waste any more time here tonight. It reminds me of this funny spoof:
