Scout X, also known as Cub Scout, was an American rocket that served as the prototype of the Scout family. It was launched on a single test flight in 1960 and was used to test the configuration that later Scout rockets would adopt, together with two of the solid rocket motors they would use. It matched the layout of the Scout X-1, the first all-up Scout, but only its first and third stages were live, the second and fourth being battleship mockups. The flight left Launch Area 3 at the Wallops Flight Facility at 23:09 GMT on 18 April 1960 and failed when the rocket disintegrated during stage separation.
