Scout Boats has carried out several promotions of key personnel at its South Carolina-based headquarters.
Effective January 1 2026, Sherrie Ferguson has been named vice president of human resources, while Ashley Richardson has been promoted to director of human resources and Courtney Guice will take on the role of executive vice president of the company.
Ferguson has been with the company since 2006, Richardson since 2016, and Guice since 2005, all in various roles.
“When my father, Steve Potts, started Scout in 1989, it was truly a family affair with my mom Dianne, my brother Stevie, and sister Stephanie,” said explained Ferguson.
Our growing global brand is only as good as it’s people, and we’re blessed to have the hardest working and most dedicated folks out there.
Dave Wallace
“The great thing is after all these years it still is a family.
“As we continue to work alongside each other – including our longstanding extended family like Dave, Alan, Courtney – and also seeing our kids take interest in working here, I couldn’t be more proud to help carry on the tradition as vice president of HR.”
Scout president Dave Wallace added: “Our growing global brand is only as good as it’s people, and we’re blessed to have the hardest working and most dedicated folks out there.
“We’re proud of their accomplishments and look forward to how each of these three will help continue growing our brand and culture.
Sportfishing niches
“We’ve built a team here that will continue to take us into the future.”
Scout builds luxury sportfishing centre console, dual console, luxury crossover and inshore/bay boat models ranging from 17ft to 67ft.
Since its founding over 35 years ago, the company’s goal has been to manufacture the best-built boats in its sportfishing niches.
Each Scout hull is an original with the in-house research and design team working closely with engineering to take concepts from blueprint to production.
