World Jamboree attendee (5)

I believe the answer is:

scout

(Other definitions for scout that I've seen before include "Person sent out to gain information" , "One searches for and recruits talented people" , "Information-gathering soldier" , "Explore" , "Talent seeker - boy on a jamboree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
