Very little is known about this section. It is likely to have been drawn from a Scottish regiment.
The diary of the Grange Patrol member, Willie Ingram, from Aberdeenshire, mentions the Scout Section. On 29th October 1942, the Grange Patrol took part in a practice attack on an Operational Base at Muldearie with 2 men of the Scout Section.
Most Scout Sections had two operational bases.
