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.
Welcome to Scout Community all. Lots of great topics and thoughts in the forums. Feel free to chime in!
Hey everyone! One of my earliest memories is sitting in the steering wheel of my dad’s orange with white rallye striped travelall and swinging back and forth.
In high school in Cañon City, Colorado in 1994-1997, I got my own 1980 Scout. First thing I did was glass pack, paint job, 31” tires. First thing it did was throw the front drive shaft, cough up the starter, and burn out the torque converter. I learned some lessons in that machine— mainly to take care of the important things first.
Anyway, driven to California and back for college, travel up and down the Arkansas River (raft guiding), handed it off to my little sister, and that scout took care of us all.
Now I have a respectable job and family, but I’m still excited to have reserved the Traveler EV + range extender for myself. Ok— my wife put the reservation under the tree this year, but we had talked about it.
I can’t wait to drive into the future in this connection to my past. I can’t wait to share it with my kids!

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story! The reservation under the tree is awesome. That 1980 is beautiful, love it!
Welcome! Given your timeline, you’re maybe a year younger than me (Class of 96). It is always nice to see someone else ostensibly born during the Carter administration.
