Best Answer

Scout in the Army is not a rank but an assignment of a uniformed forward observer, in the Ground troops. in effect a Uniformed spy or intelligence gathering operative. oddly the word (Scout) is derived from the French obsolete form of the verb Escouter- now it is Ecouter- to Listen- maintaining a listening post. the older usage of Escouter or escoutez- in direct command form- Listen up, boys is used, If I am not mistaken, in Shakespeare. The French now use Eclaireur ( one who makes clear- by extension path finer or reconnaisance participant for SCOUt in both Military and boy/girl sense, but a female Girl Scout ( analogous to GSA is called Eclaireuse- female ending as we would have Actor, ACTRESS, ETC. Just scouting around.
