Scouts West is a group of people who are interested in trucks (4x4 and 2x4) made by International Harvester. Some of these models include the Scout, Scout 80, Scout 800, Scout 800a, Scout 800b, Scout 810, Traveler, Travelall, Travelett, 1010, 1110, 1210, 1310 and the SSII. Some custom models include the Midnight Star, Patriot. If Mopar and IH had gotten together back in the 70 they may have built the SSIIGTX, (a SSII with a 440 cubic inch engine). The types of wheeling we enjoy include, rock crawling, sand dunes and day trips to the local four wheel drive and off road areas.
GET YOUR MEMBERSHIP RENEWED BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!!!
Well folks, it's that time again. Membership dues for the 2012 year are upon us. All current Members are requested to have paid their renewal dues by the end of April. We know that this is late notice, but it’s the same time every year and IHWR has consumed all of the ScoutsWest staff. Don’t let your membership lapse and lose out on multiple benefits.
The new Club shirt design is completed and has been for sale for quite some time. So get your order in to make sure you get an official ScoutsWest Member shirt. The online application is available for your convenience at the link below. Please don’t forget to check your Chapter affiliation and, T-shirt size. Also, please make sure to fill out your contact information completely and, accurately so we can send you pesky emails from time to time.
We welcome those of you who are contemplating joining ScoutsWest for the first time. You are encouraged to join even sooner than returning members because your new membership will be extended through the end of April of 2013. Every day that you are early in joining you get a free day next year. Now there's an offer you can't refuse. The Club has much to offer its Members by way of our scheduled events, trails runs, adopt-a-trail days, club parties, workdays and great fellowship with people who like to share lots of knowledge about our IH vehicles. The added benefits you receive in on line accessibility and, the lovely prize package you will receive are all well worth the cost of admission.
May 25-27, 2012 is Memorial Day weekend and marks the start of summer. For those of us in the 4x4 community it is also the time for the 41st Annual Hi Desert Round-Up (HDR).
This year's event will be held at the new location on Anderson Dry Lake in north Johnson Valley. HDR is a family event with guided trail rides on Saturday to locations in the Cougar Buttes and the world famous Hammer Trails.
There will be a best-equipped game held Saturday evening. This game is open to everyone. Get a group of your friends and stuff everything you can think of in the vehicle you choose. When I say everything, I mean everything because you never know what will be asked for. Some of the more common items asked for are: U-joint, fan belt, first aid kit, gas receipt, cold beer (this is usually because the announcer is thirsty).
In addition, on Sunday there will be vehicle games for the adults and in the afternoon we will have games for the kids. The most popular game for the kids is the stick and can game. This is a kid's version of the adult game of the same name. Another version of an adult game is the potato scoop, where the kids have to follow a course and collect potatoes and put them into a bucket. On Sunday evening there will be a kids raffle as well as an adult raffle.
Since 1996, International Harvester enthusiasts have gathered together over the third weekend in April to rekindle some very old friendships. Some come to catch up with folks they haven’t seen in a very long time; some come to admire these old iron trucks we all love so much. In our 16th year, we again return to the KOA Kampground at Calico, California from April 20-22, 2012.
This is a fantastic location for an event such as ours that offers a variety of activities for all our participants both on and off road. This year we are honored to be working with the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization which exists to honor and empower those men and women who have sacrificed so much in service to our Country.
