hi zuyx,
since you have no competitive experience, i recommend you do the following:
1. read this article which has been around since the beginning of competitive tf2: http://www.gotfrag.com/tf2/story/43759/
it is a bit dated but it will help you get started so you know what your role is as scout.
2. have you taken a look at tf2lobby.com? i strongly recommend you play games there and get a feel for the 6v6 environment. just be aware that those are not organized teams but pick up groups (pugs) so it is laid back and a great place to learn.
3. play a lot more scout. i notice you only have about 8 hours played as scout, and to get a good feel for the class you need to play at least 40 in my opinion. try to have control of which range does which amount of damage. for example, a point blank shot (also known as a meatshot) is 108 damage, and it goes down from there to mid range shots (70-90), and then everything else.
hopefully this gives you an idea of where to start. this way, later on you can approach a mentor with problems and issues that you will probably be having at that point.
good luck!

Hey zuyx,
I'm not a registered mentor, but I am an avid scout player who was mentored by couple low/mid scouts. I'd like to pass on some tips to you (or any newer players) that hopefully will improve your scouting quicker.
Add me to your friend's list and just message me when i'm online. We can setup a meeting time, etc.
