A fast-talking kid from Boston with a penchant for baseball, the '''Scout''' is the fastest of all classes. His speed and ability to [[double jump]] will leave slower opponents struggling to keep up. This, coupled with his [[Scattergun]], makes the Scout ideal at hit and run tactics, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety. The Scout can also equip his trusty [[Sandman]] to [[stun]] opponents with long-range baseballs, sip some of his [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]] to make a getaway without taking damage, or drink his [[Crit-a-Cola]] to take out unaware opponents in seconds.
 
 
The Scout is an ideal choice to complete an objective quickly, as he can capture [[control points]] and push [[Payload|carts]] twice as fast as any other class. His petite stature and swiftness also make him useful at harassing opponents and providing distractions. With the addition of [[Mad Milk]], the Scout now has a larger role and can provide additional support to the team.
 
 
The Scout is 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 problem solve 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" />

== Trivia ==
 
 
*After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman {{W|Offer Shlomi}} (also known as 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 files.
 
*The Scout's voice actor, Nathan Vetterlein, also provides the voice for the "Church Guy" character in the Valve title ''[[Left 4 Dead]]''.
 
*The excited Scout mascot in the [http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/force-a-nature.htm Force-A-Nature ad] also appears in a slightly altered form as the icon for the "You'll Feel a Little Prick" Medic achievement. 
 
*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 BLU Scout makes a cameo as the Jack card for the black suits (spades and clubs) in the "TF2" card deck.
 
{{clr}}
 
*The Scout makes an appearance in ''[[Worms: Reloaded]]'' as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of [[Granary]]. The Scout's headset and cap are also available as a selectable hat for the player's worms.
 
*[[Non-player characters#BLU team (Original)|Billy the Kid]] was hired as the first BLU Scout.
 
*The Scout's icon has the resemblance of {{W|Hermes|Hermes'}} winged foot.
 
*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!".
 
*According to the Official Team Fortress 2 Blog, the Scout lives in an apartment that is crammed full of promotional items.
