i recently started playing scout, and was wondering what i need to use and do in order to get better at the class.
i'd like to know EVERYTHING i need to know in order to play the class optimally and decently
thanks in advance

watch your demos / try to understand why you died and if that can be avoided for next time
watch higher div players demos to learn where you should be standing in different situations
play on a team
play dm/mge
get a mentor
this video is a basic guide to flank scout. probably the best/newest one we have.
this video series is a lot more general and it's older but a lot of the concepts still hold up today
good luck :)
step 1: acquire nutty dm somehow
step 2: take 30% heals and demand every uber
there is no step 3
make sure you type "?" in chat every time an enemy soldier sacks
lower your sens until youre able to aim + move freely
mge against scouts that are better than you and learn to deny soldiers
get demo reviews from players that are above your div
1000 hours of scout in ammomod and u will be invite
step one: find good team
step two: scrim a lot
watching demos, dm, and mge are all supplementary. scrimming with a good team is by far the fastest way to improve. If youre beginning in sixes, then skip newcomer and play open. You have almost 2k hours in the game just play open unless you want to waste three months and learn nothing in newcomer.

Speaking from experience, didn’t make me invite. Turned into robot
beep beep boop maggot!
VERY VALUABLE esoteric scout tip (no one else will teach you this):
>>Learn "Ret*rd Movement"<<
Alright, so you know how in pubs you will occasionally find those scouts who can barely use their keyboard? They constantly run into walls, and don't know they have a double jump. They probably picked the scout because it's bound to 1 on the class selection screen, and they think that means it's the #1 class (they're right).
Well, friend, you gotta be able to channel that mindset.
And doing this will make you INVINCIBLE against demomen at medium to close range
How are they supposed to predict what you're going to do, if you're not even sure yourself? Exactly. So, let's say for example that you're in a 1v1 and he just piped you. Obviously you're gonna cry for your medic and backpedal, just like every other scout would, right?
FUCK THAT. You're gonna crouch and hold A into a wall instead. Why? Cause you have an enormous dick weighing you down, that's why. You've gone Ret*rd Mode. Or maybe you just stand still and jump in place instead. The details don't matter - bottom line is he's gonna miss his next few pipes out of sheer confusion and gift you the kill.
Learn it. Apply it. I guarantee that you won't regret adding this to your repertoire. Pce
