Scott "Scooter" Brown
Co-Owner of Survival Summit
Forged in the untamed wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, Scott “Scooter” Brown grew up surrounded by nature’s raw beauty, where he discovered a deep passion for primitive survival and self-reliance. That rugged spirit carried him into the United States Marine Corps at the age of 18, where he served with distinction as a Scout in the elite 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion.
Scooter deployed in 2001 and again in 2003 with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), participating in the initial invasion of Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom). Engaged in multiple combat missions alongside Coalition Forces, he saw firsthand the chaos of war—and the strength it demands.
While in the Marines, Scooter taught himself to play guitar, a spark that would one day ignite into a full-blown career. When faced with the decision to reenlist as a mountain survival instructor in Bridgeport, California, he followed a different call—the call of music. That last-minute choice took him from the battlefield to the backroads of Texas, where he poured himself into the craft of songwriting and storytelling.
His talent caught the attention of country music icon Charlie Daniels, who took him under his wing and helped launch him into the heart of Nashville. Since then, Scooter has become a multi-award-winning country music artist and cinematic producer, touring with legends like Charlie Daniels, Travis Tritt, Randy Travis, and Kid Rock. As the frontman of Scooter Brown Band and co-founder of War Hippies, his music—along with songs he’s written for others—has racked up over 100 million streams across all platforms. He made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry in 2019, solidifying his place in country music history.
But Scooter’s story doesn’t stop with music.
He co-founded Base Camp 40 – Warriors In The Wild, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing veterans hunting and fishing experiences. He also works closely with organizations fighting human trafficking and advocating for vulnerable children. He and his wife, Vicki—his partner of
20 years—have built a family rooted in love, purpose, and service, raising four children, including two adopted. Their passion for adoption runs as deep as their faith and commitment to helping others.
Scooter has traveled to every U.S. state, three territories, and nearly 40 countries. He’s seen the world at its best—and its most dangerous—and knows how quickly life can turn. His experiences led him to become a proud owner, operator, and partner in The Survival Summit, where he now brings his unique skill set to the world of preparedness and outdoor education.
His mission is clear: to teach, equip, and inspire a new generation of freedom-minded individuals. Through expert instruction, top-tier gear, and a growing community of like-minded souls, he aims to reconnect people with their roots—back to the wild, back to resilience, and back to freedom.
“Comfort is a trap. If you can’t survive without your phone, your home, or a grocery store—you’re not free.” – SB
