This is really more of a semantics thing. Yes, any mech can scout, and should if needed. I'm more referring to when people say they are playing a "Scout". If you tell your team that your gonna look ahead, see where the enemy is, that's one thing, but once you call yourself a "Scout", they kinda expect certain things of you. That, or if someone is wanting to play that role, specifically, it's kinda helpful to have those things.
A lot of it is communication with your team. Let them know what your capable of, and let your missile boats know who to fire on.

Honestly I wasn't even thinking about pug games when I started typing that post, then realized at the end you probably meant getting TAG and NARC to support lrmboats. In the 8-man queue you don't see lrms very often at all, so our "scouts" never actually use TAG or NARC. Kind of a shame really, a whole facet of the game being competitively nonviable.
So then yes, I agree. ECM mechs for the true scout roles. Non-ECM lights for basic scouting/harassing larger mechs/some map control.
