They do have a modest bonus plus 3 experince & I disagree that they should get more for the reason that most scouts in game situations are more a half squad designated to do recon. Correct me if I am wrong but true Recon units tend to be a good distance ahead of the main force finding & reporting on the enemy, more modern the game generally the deeper they are.
Therefore most in game scouts might well represent a bit of extra training or an experinced squad tasked to the job because of there experience,
