Thread: Proposed Scout Missions
I recall some posts earlier that scout missions were being developed. Does anyone know what the content of these will be? Part of my 'vision' of what a scout is- involves the concept of 'scout as steward'; That is, we are the 'caretakers' of nature, the antithesis of greedy merchants who think nothing of exploiting the enviroment of it's resources for their personal gain.
How about some missions that address this capacity as potential 'caretaker'? Or, perhaps additional xp whenever a scout does something enviroment 'friendly'? Maybe titles granted if you do make an extra effort to work in the best interest of the enviroment and her creatures, which are the very lifeblood of our profession? (ie Enviromentalist, Naturist, Conservationist- I'm sure that more creative people can come up with something...well...more creative! )
Not sure how 'cool' this sort of thing is, but it really is a large part of what scouting is all about for me, personally.

Kal,
As its been explained to me, there would a be number of types of different scouting missions. Some would be to go hunt a specific animal and bring back X number of hides. Another would be to trek to a certain area and explore around, then go back. A third would be to go to a certain area and forage for a certain type of item, and then bring it back when you've found it.
These were rough ideas when the Scout dev and I talked about them, and I'm unsure as to how refined they've been, but they give you a general idea of where the line of thought is going.
