No, the term 'troop of scouts' is a noun phrase, a group of words (without a verb) based on a noun (scouts). The word 'troop' is a noun functioning as a collective noun to group the scouts as a unit.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

The pronouns that take the place of the noun 'scouts' or the noun phrase 'troop of scouts' is they as a subject and them as an object in a sentence.

Examples:

A troop of scouts are selling candy to raise money. They want to fund a summer camping trip. We can buy some candy to help them out.
