Here are 2 threads that should help you out. They are both quite lengthy and there may be some overlap but they are very thorough.

This final thread is the link to the scout registry/kilboard. If you have any more questions throw them in there and the scout community will be more than happy to help you out.

Oh and add the Scouts United chat channel in the game to squad up with some awesome scouts to get more pointers. |

Welcome to Hard Mode 
Kudos on your bravery, good sir. Typed this up the other day for another Shotgun Scout recruit:

The Devs announced that "specific Shotgun improvements" have been submitted to QA for testing. We're hoping they make it in to 1.6 (a week or two out). In the mean time, your shotgun will occasionally misfire and "blue flare" unsuspecting, in-range targets. Pause between shots to decrease odds of hit detection failure. Be ready to switch to your sidearm.
Ten Free Tips on Scout Shotgunning:
1) Get in touch with Lightning xVx. Apply to R 0 N 1 N. Anything V says overrides my advice.
2) Avoid shortcuts. Take the scenic route around your opponents; always approach from behind.
3) Avoid heroics. When possible, single out and stalk stragglers. Engage hostiles one at a time.
4) Beware the Flare. Your shotgun will misfire. Because CCP. Carry a reliable sidearm at all times.
5) Beware the Bluedot. You'll beat hostile scanners; they will not. Distance yourself when possible.
6) Be discreet. Don't let your enemy see you have a Shotgun until you're in range and ready to use it.
7) Scan. Get an Adv Scanner. Assess risk factors and enemy positions/orientation prior to attack.
8) Lure. Everyone chases the little Scout. Bait them around a corner and blast face. One at a time.
9) Nades. If you're target is fat or wearing black, open up your surprise attack with a nicely cooked Nade.
10) Practice. The Breach Shotgun is a poor choice, but an excellent training tool. Warm up with one.
That's all I've got for now. Good luck to you, Brother.
Once you've completed your Academy training, introduce yourself to the guys at the Scout Registry.
We're here to help. You know where to find us. o7
