Writing to arrange a trip for some scouts (6)

I believe the answer is:

script

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

'writing' is the definition.
(script is a kind of writing)

'arrange a trip for some scouts' is the wordplay.
'arrange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'some scouts' becomes 'sc' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'trip' anagrammed gives 'ript'.
'ript' after 'sc' is 'SCRIPT'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for script that I've seen before include "Screenplay" , "Printed text" , "Orginal document" , "Write" , "Calligraphy" .)
