Well blessing or no, a Jotun scout is more capeable of taking lightly defended provinces in sneak attacks than are normal scouts...

Blessings for Jotun can do wonders for the units too, depending on what paths you have taken, though in the case of Scouts its a bit trickier to get them blessed while they are sneaking. Shroud of the battle saint would work, but probably better equipment to give them if you are serious about trying to use them as a sneak attack force.

I'm not recomending using them for that function, but if you want that function they are better than indie scouts...
