Lookouts or pathfinders (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scouts

This clue is a double definition.

'lookouts' is the first definition.
('scout' can be a synonym of 'lookout')

'pathfinders' is the second definition.
('scout' can be a synonym of 'pathfinder')

(Other definitions for scouts that I've seen before include "Young people's adventure organisation" , "They're sent out to get information" , "Goes ahead to get the lay of the land" , "Lookouts or pathfinders" , "They look out for talented people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
