{{Quotation|'''The Scout''' on the facts of life|Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother, I hurt people.|sound=Meetscout2.wav}}
 
Born and raised in {{w|Boston, Massachusetts}}, the '''Scout''' is a fast running scrapper with a baseball bat and a snarky 'in-your-face' attitude. He is very rude, and seems to think he can handle anything. He often acts a lot tougher than he can actually prove to be, though he's certainly not weak.
 
 
 
He is the fastest mercenary on the battlefield, and his [[Jumping#Double Jump|Double Jump]] leaves slower opponents struggling to keep up, as well as it helps him navigate the terrain and dodge oncoming projectiles. Carrying a [[Scattergun]] and a [[Pistol]], the Scout is ideal for aggressive fighting and flanking. The Scout is a good class for quick hit and run tactics for sapping away the enemies' health due to his ability to get in, do damage and dash away before even being noticed.
 
 
 
The Scout is an excellent choice for completing objectives quickly.  He captures [[control point (objective)|control points]] and pushes [[Payload|carts]] at the rate of 2 players. His speed makes him a natural for capturing the Intelligence; his double jump allowing him to carry it along paths the enemies won't expect him to be on.
 
 
 
The Scout is [[Voice actors|voiced]] by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1867910/ Nathan Vetterlein].

| description = The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to solve problems with his fists. With seven older brothers on his side, fights tended to end before the runt of the litter could maneuver into punching distance, so the Scout trained himself to run. He ran everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray.<ref name="tradingcardscout" />

* Jump again in mid-air to change direction, and avoid enemy fire.
 
* You capture control points and push carts twice as fast as any other class.
 
* You're most effective when you stay moving and use your speed to your advantage.
 
* Your Scattergun is deadly at point blank range.
 
* Your Pistol is great for picking off enemies at a distance.
 
* Press {{tooltip|E|The Medic! call command will change to match a custom control scheme or console controller.}} to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

== Trivia ==
 
* After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman {{W|Vince Offer}}, many requested that Valve add a reference to this in-game. With the release of the [[Scout Update]], lines such as [[Media:Scout_misc02.wav|"If you order now, I'll throw in a second beatin', absolutely free."]] and [[Media:Scout_award07.wav|"No otha' class' gonna do dat!"]] were added to the game.
 
* The [[Submachine Gun]] for the Sniper was originally intended as the primary weapon for the Scout.
 
** The [[Nailgun]], a scrapped weapon carried over from ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]'', was also intended for the Scout.
 
* In ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]'', an image of the Scout wearing the [[Ye Olde Baker Boy]] hat makes a cameo as the Jack of Spades & Clubs in the "Team Fortress 2" deck.
 
* The Scout makes an appearance in ''[[Worms: Reloaded]]'' as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of [[Granary (Control Point)|Granary]]. The Scout's headset and cap are also available as a selectable hat for the player's worms.
 
* The [[Non-player characters#BLU team (Original)|first BLU team]] Scout resembled {{w|Billy the Kid}}.
 
* The Assassin class of ''[[Monday Night Combat]]'' has a promo item with the Scout's headset and the [[Spy|Spy's]] disguise mask named "Bonk! Slash!".
 
* Since June 8th, 2011 when a Scout is [[gibs|gibbed]] it has a 1/100 chance of a dove flying out of his torso. This is a reference to the final scene in [[Meet the Medic]], where Archimedes is revealed to be stuck in Scout's chest.
