S.O.S. SAVE OUR SEAS

Scout Boats has made a commitment to quality since the
very beginning. More importantly we’ve also made a
commitment to saving our natural resources. Our boating
and fishing waters are beautiful but often abused and
neglected. With care, we can turn the tide in favor of
preserving our shining seas for generations to come. At
Scout, we’re doing our part by using earth-friendly
manufacturing techniques and materials, and by choosing
suppliers who observe strict environmental controls in
making their products. It means more expense and time on
our part, but we think it’s worth it. You can do your part by
being sensitive to our environment. Our marshes are the filter
systems of the world. As responsible boaters we must
manage our natural resources so our children can enjoy
them.
