Each town and camp has a different difficulty level associated with it for scouting. Scouting closer to town will often mean meeting an enemy with more firepower.

A character with a high Scouting skill is typically referred to as a "Scout". Try not to get confused with the terminology knowing that you want to take a Scout with you while on a scout. A higher Scouting skill means fairer fights, or occasionally an advantage for the player. This only counts the best Scout in the group; having more than one Scout won't help.

	Some other factors are the vehicle the ~~scout~~ is riding in, and the size of the ~~scout~~. Putting your ~~scout~~ into a smaller more mobile vehicle may get you a fairer fight. A larger ~~scouting group~~ may get you slightly worse odds.		Some other factors are the vehicle the Scout is riding in, and the size of the squad. Putting your Scout into a smaller, more mobile vehicle may get you a fairer fight. A larger squad may get you slightly worse odds. The most important factor when considering a squad's size is the sum of the Combat Rating (CR) of all the vehicles in the squad.
