It is not known how Scout recognizes Boo Radley. Perhaps it is because she has never seen him before, and since it is a small town, she assumes that if she does not know him he must be Boo. She may have also drawn conclusions from his appearance, as he does not resemble a normal, entirely healthy person (e.g., his gaunt appearance). While one can hypothesize about the reasons, one cannot know for certain.
