Yes, another thread from the new AoMer. Recently I've found scouting to be more difficult than I thought. I mean I know how to get my scout to clear the map in the beginning, but what are some useful hints when scouting out your enemy mid game or before an attack?

Well, I know what to scout for, I'm just not sure any good ways to actually scout

You can set waypoints for your scout by pressing shift+right click. That way you can just select your scout and set him waypoints on the minimap.

I change my idle military hotkey to my spacebar and I just hit that every few seconds in archaic to find and check up on my scout. I found that way points are nice, but you will end up with areas of black and also you will back track a lot due to obstacles. It does though take more micro, but what an easy way to get pracitce.
