    The Scout troop I belonged to in the late 1970s was all about the Country Squire wagon piloted by the scoutmaster drunk on "Old Prospectors," a round-the-campfire drink that I believe was equal parts rye whiskey, Gatorade, and swamp water. No seat belts needed!

    @Murilee Martin: That sounds like a drink that will put hair on the back of your ears. I never knew of any booze around out trips. Another scout leader once took the liberty of showing us the morphine tabs he kept in his first aid kit, and the cast iron frying pan he used to hit the last kid who tried to touch them. Good times. My Dad had the Country Squire with the 428.

    "we see the organization as a vaguely-militaristic-indoctrination club for parents living vicariously through their children"


    What a nice over-the-top asshole comment Jalopnik.

    @usa1: When I was in the Boy Scouts, Boy's Life reprinted a critiques of the Scouts by a Soviet news organ. On reflection, I found it reasonably accurate. And I'm still pissed that my Scout leader never came through on his promise to take us down to Fort Benning to learn to jump out of airplanes, do some live fire on the machine gun range, and cook dinner over C-4. The stories that guy would tell....

    Bah. When I was in Scouting (Eagle Scout, and damn proud of it) we would haul our asses in my friend's two-tone dark green 1998 Chevy Astro. A real man's van right there. We would attach a mile-long flatbed trailer to that back that let us carry 22 bicycles, then put it in 4WD the next month and haul ass up Mt. Snow with 7 brats jamming out to Rammstein (yeah, we were a weird Scout troop). It was completely unstoppable and made the CRVs and RAV4s that the other Scout leaders drove seem like the wuss wagons they were.


    My friend still drives the thing around, mostly for purposes of stealing road signs.

    I never was in scouts. I always thought that it was reminiscent of the "Hitler-Jugend" (Hitler Youth). Well, actually my dad hated it as a child, I told him that I had no desire to join, and he didn't make me.

    My son't former den leader drives a 1st gen Xb. But she also built a pinewood car with a plexiglass box mounted on top holding a live tarantula, so she gets the coolest mom award.

    Man, this list is FAIL. Carmakers FAIL. Carbuyers, EPIC FAIL.


    I was never in the Scouts, but when my Little League team needed wheels, my mom's '78 Volare SE wagon got it done just fine.

    You guys are all way too young. When I was in the scouts, (and my troop won a couple of the Northeast Jamborees) all of the leaders drove good old fashion Station Wagons! Remember those? It was quite a site in it's day.


    Let's see if I can remember them... (remember, this was 1966, 67, 68) a 1958 Chevy Brookwood, a 1959 Chevy Parkwood, a 1959 Plymouth Suburban, a 1962 Chevy Impala Wagon, a 1958 Chevy Nomad Wagon, a 1961 Corvair Lakewood, and the newest one, a 1963 Ford Country Sedan. All the cars got into mud, hauled camping equipment, helped with our newspaper drive (to raise money), Took us all to Lake of Isles (which is now a Golf Course!), and they were all pretty rusty, and well used.
