The difference between Scout Tracking and Pursuit Tracking is that the Scout is not pursuing; a specially tasked Tracking team pursues. A scout uses tracking as an extension of awareness and a tool for reconnaissance. A scout is interested in tracks to determine who is in the area. But beyond the who, they will be able to determine when, how many, direction of travel, probable destination, mission, mental state, and level of awareness, discipline, and training, and a whole host of additional information. This is behavioral profiling applied to tracks. This class will teach the scout how to look at the tracks and determine the scenario played out.
