I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to scorn?' is the definition.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for scout that I've seen before include "Member of a youth movement" , "One searches for and recruits talented people" , "One making recce" , "Explore" , "Explorer, spy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
