SCOUT

a scout is a person who looks for certain things that could be, exploring lands, looking for locations, watching from an outpost. This phrase is also used in wars or games as a person who looks for certain stuff, and is very light equipped. An alternate equipment is a riffle and a watchtower.

Possible new use of scout as verb
I have amended the noun definitions to include scout as one who identifies promising talent on behalf of a sports - esp football (UK) - team. Can the word be used as a verb in this context - eg. "I have been scouted", meaning "I have been approached to trial/play for a team as a result of the activities of a scout"?
