Scobee is a lunar impact crater that lies within the northeastern part of the huge Apollo impact basin, just outside the inner mountainous ring of that feature. Scobee is located due south of Barringer crater, itself along the edge of the outer rim. Attached to the southwestern outer rim of Scobee is the smaller Smith crater.
This is a worn and eroded crater formation. The rim has an outward bulge along the north-northwestern side. The interior floor is relatively featureless, except for some pitting from tiny craterlets.
