 There is a distinct difference between 'spies' and 'scouts'. It's somwhat like comparing apples and oranges.

Spies, in the strict defination, are geared to infiltrate an ememies territory, normally remaining in place over a period of time, collecting and transmitting more strategic information.

Scouts, were utilized in the gathering of 'real time' information of a tactical nature (i.e. battlefield intel, troop movements, etc.).

Having said that however, I am sure that there were many which preformed both roles at one time or another.

Just my humble comments
