Just found out these two scouts . One was wandering around the camp and the other one nearly burned to death near a church . So which one should I legendarize or wait for a better one or scrap one ? I don't know , you guys are the creative one . So , either the irresponsible mother or Zoey from L4D . You decide .

Stabmother looks like she'd make good walker bait in the Distance, however one could call that cruel. Instead, I would likely provide her a pack of rations, some water, and a kit so she could make her way on down the road to that safe place we know as Terminus. Hand her one of those maps we all collected, ask her if she has any other needs and bid her a long and tasty life.
Oh, have her say the code phrase as the gates of Terminus. 'I make good stew'.

Ruthless is Awesome but Luck is also important.
If you get Luck on Annie she'd be awesome & Stabmother would be great if she gets Ruthless.
I would go with Annie for sure and hope for either dodge or lucky
Of your 2nd scouts, Patrick > Paul but it's a tough choice. I think lucky, dodge and retaliate are really important for scouts, retaliate especially. Since Patrick has 2/3 he gets my vote.

That being said, I play Scouts aggressively but don't let them soak up hits. If at a high RSL someone else (Abe, Bruiser, etc.) is going to be there to take the hits. With this Scout playstyle, Retaliate and Dodge aren't as important to me. Patrick is also at a deficit because he has Dodge, but no Lucky. In order to get Dodge to trigger at even approaching a reasonable level you usually need to leverage it with Lucky on the Survivor along with Gold Dodge and Gold Lucky on your gear (or run them with Gabe).
I wont't upgrade Patrick then, when I hasn't got luck. But I will keep him, he's quite usefull in the distance.
I will try Paul in some missions to see if he fits me or I have to search for another one. Does he have all the traits your looking for @tabernac ? Does he go well with Freddy or should I have a more defensive scout with him?
Once I rolled her, I took @crambert_nec's advice and threw every token at her that I came across. Even considered retiring my OG Scout, but thankfully didn't.
I'd say that Paul goes great with Freddy, but you may want to get other opinions as I rarely run 2 Scouts at the same time. There are those occasions tho. For example at high levels I was running Michonne and two Scouts on that one map (Deer In Headlights maybe?) in which there are frequent timed spawns and also auto-spawns and I needed every ounce of Threat Reduction and Swift Strike that I could muster to get through it. In that map I was relying traits triggering and pure offense so I don't think a "Defensive Scout" would have helped me much, but it's possible that I'm totally missing something.
