I know Case stopped making the scout pattern knife a while back, but did they also stop making the Jr Scout because I can no longer find it on their website?
 
In the dim recesses of my mind I’m thinking Queen made the Jr. Scout for Case, thus it’s discontinued. OH
 
I would try to contact Case directly about this, they are usually very helpful. If I knew anything I would share but I am not familiar at all with this knife.

I have one from 2008 with Orange G10 covers. It's built on Case's 090 frame (pattern number 104090R) and to my eyes it looks like a Case knife through and through. I say this with the utmost respect but I would be absolutely shocked to find out it was made by Queen.
 
I would guess by the fact that it is not available for sale anywhere, and that Case no longer shows it on their web site, that it has probably been discontinued. They silently discontinued a lot of patterns a few years ago to be able to focus on their more popular ones and cut down on the number of parts/patterns.

That type of knife is utterly dominated by Victorinox, and Case always seemed a bit overpriced to me on that pattern, so I am not surprised that they dropped it from their product line.

You might be able to find some new old stock somewhere with a dealer or on the big auction site if you are diligent in searching, and are willing to pay up a bit.
