How can I practice Scout offline?

tbh you can use tr_rocketshooting to practice switching targets and flicking
but a lot of scout is movement and positioning and especially playing against real players which you kind of need a real game for. (mge or lobby etc.)

tr_newbots is pretty good imo, probably the closest you get to mge without, well, actual players. Can't really say anything about screwing up the aim but the bots' movement there is relatively similar to how many scouts play 1v1.

You could also download demos in advance to watch them, this seems like the perfect opportunity for that

I wouldn't use tr_rocketshooting. You should use tr_juggle instead It's the same thing but 3x better.

try tr_aim with the scout bots on. it's still bots that move predictably but you get three lanes, all with different movement patterns so if you switch between them often you never get too used to it.

Try tr_arena_rc2. I'm too happen to be offline often, and found good practice for my scout/demo on that map. There is an option for just 1 strafing bot-scout. Good stuff.
Also, as internet once suggested me, you can practice tracking by turning on that walkway's jump pad and pistoling bots.

Find a scout who's better than you who's style you like and watch their demos

watch demos like Rhettro said
use low sensitivity
play calm.
focus on your movement in matches. A lot of times you're just rushing your aim and overstrafing when you can instead just stand still or strafe outside of them a little for really easy shots.
Also, I put an emphasis on not rushing your aim. You shouldn't be flicking immediately to your every target. Yes, there are times when you just have to flick in order to get a quick shot off, but a lot of times you can track your crosshair onto your target at a slower speed, rather than flicking immediately.
Again, it's good to keep your crosshair at the center of your screen at rest, aim and shoot your target, then bring your crosshair back to the center of the screen when you're done. This will become a normal habit once you practice on aimbooster.com enough.
hold your mouse lightly
I don't recommend tr_newbots. The scout bots only strafe sideways. Most of your 1v1s and engages don't look like this in real matches. Usually it's all about prior positioning, or whichever scout is able to strafe outside of the other first to land the easy meatshot on their side (https://youtu.be/3mcto2UsZGA?t=21s). The side of a player model is the easiest place to land a good meatshot when you're up close.
warm up with aimbooster.com. I recommend starting off with training>doubleshot and then with challenge for like 10 minutes or so.
stop flinching when you get shot at. Be aware of the fact that, most of the time, whether you're dueling a scout, or at a mid fight, you're going to get hit. It's normal, it's always going to happen, don't freak out about it.
Personally, I like to just pretend that I'm invincible; that immediately gets rid of my nerves and prevents me from playing like a scared little bitch.
Before I realized the importance of not flinching when I get shot at, my 1v1s were quite inconsistent. Specifically, I would usually be able to hit my first couple of shots, but as soon as I take a 75 dmg meatshot, for example, i'd freak out and start flicking desperately, which would result in my death.

If you're still able to be on at night or late night - you'll find there's quite a community here that doesn't sleep at normal hours - so just ingratiate yourself to them and they'll be happy to add another night owl.
If it's the case that you simply won't have the ability to use the internet at all - the suggestions provided above for bot maps and demos are prolly your best bet.
Depending on your skill level, especially on scout, I'd actually recommend checking out demos from the skill level above yourself as opposed to *only* watching invite/prem/classic invite demos. Depending on your skill level it's often difficult to figure out why certain things are happening divorced from the proper context, and some players are simply able to get away with doing a lot of things that you won't be (because they're exceptionally good at aiming or moving, or both).

If you're playing on a local server don't forget to use net_fakelag to replicate your internet settings (e.g. net_fakelag 20 = ~60 ping)
