Minnesota Scout Club

  • 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.

Hi Scout community! Quick intro for the Minnesota Scout Club. Based in Minneapolis but we will be holding a few 2023 meet ups across the state. For the latest meet up schedules follow us on Facebook (Minnesota International Scout Club) or on Instagram @minnesotascoutclub . Facebook page we encourage new members to join and post anything Scout related. Lots of IH parts, Scouts for sale and tips are always encouraged. Have a feeling we will see some New EV Scout discussions going on. If you are from a neighboring state feel free to join and be an active member.

Scout team, congrats on the new endeavor!

Our first Scout, a 76 Terra, came from the IHC dealership in Badger, MN... it came as a 2wd, and by 1985 had rusted up to the gas cap.

Dad replaced all the body panels & found an abandoned 4wd Scout in a field & commandeered the drivetrain for a 4wd conversion for my older brother's 16th Birthday. We got it painted in International Falls... (the body panels we'd ordered from J.C. Whitney came covered in protective oil, which the paint shop forgot to remove... the paint flaked off in sheets on Dad's 20 mile drive home in March, was repainted the following week correctly).

I learned to drive in that truck on the 7 mile drive into town to get the Sunday paper every weekend when I was 10-13... Dad let me drive the country stretch before we got into town proper. It was a 196-3spd., Baby Blue.
