I'm a bit uncertain about your suggestion, since it would give much more direct control of scouts compared to other workers. I would also assume that they are drawn to undiscovered (fog of war) areas when they are out and about, but I don't know.
I do understand you frustration, as the scouts can be annoying by walking out into the empty wilderness for the nth time, rather than into enemy territory.
