Our Mission Statement

Scouts West is organized to bring together and promote interest in Off-Roading, preserving, restoring and enjoying all of the products of International Harvester Corporation including but not limited to Scouts and Light Line Trucks and other vehicles through social activities, educational programs and recreational activities, enjoying, preserving and protecting our National resources and public lands through responsible four-wheeling, enjoying outdoor living and family friendly events. Scouts West is a strong advocate of the “Tread Lightly” concept of environmental responsibility.

First established in 1989 by and for International Harvester enthusiasts of all stripes our club has grown and expanded over the years to include a wide variety of member vehicles and personalities; all supporting the same common purpose, which is making some great friends and having lots of fun.

Scouts West members enjoy the benefits of fellowship with some really great people and sharing similar interests at our monthly Chapter meetings, in our online forum, at our workdays, our 4 Wheel runs and many other activities that occur throughout the year, all of which are very family friendly.
