This has the added bonus of often giving your scout a heroic ability. That may not seem like much, but there is a variety of uses for heroic scouts. Quickness or precision ones are great for equipping with ranged/spellcasting magic items, awe or toughness can make them neat solo raiders, and of course almost anything on a Jotun scout makes them even more useful...

And when you take into account that Jotun Scouts have better stats than your starting Jotun Herse... And a Jotun Scout that has had Heroic Quickness for over ten turns is pretty powerful once you have researched Construction and give him few items, armor makes the most difference but other items are very useful, as well. And of course, if you prophetize him...
