Well i saw some scoults with good hp, i dont know that not all scoults stacks some hp =P but still, is it easy? even with crap hp?
So... this is a serious post? I'm still not quite certain... XD
Either way, I'll try and answer that...
Simply put, it's different. Yes, you can have high HP, how that works out, I wouldn't really know on a scout. I can only speak for the Minmatar. If you know what you're doing, if you know how to avoid direct confrontations, know how to flank, when to and when not to engage and how to use all tools at your disposal, then... no, it's not "hard" so to speak, but it does require more thought than some of the other play styles. Most of the other suits have HP to back them up if you make a mistake, but they have less options, slower speed, etc. Scouts don't have that HP, making a mistake is usually an instant death. On the other hand though, if you build your suit right, you can more easily avoid those mistakes. Speed, shield recharge rate, and radar capabilities can make up for what the suit lacks, plus the ability to cloak as well, but it still comes at the price of HP. Is it easy? No, even once you get the hang of it, is it seriously hard... I'm not quite certain if its' the most difficult roll, but it's no cake walk. Scouting has actually gotten more difficult since 1.8 dropped, what with all the Caldari and Gallente scouts running around.
Once again, this is all from a pure Min scout, so take it as you will. I can't speak for the other suits nor will I try. If you're looking to get into the scout role and want at least a partial challenge from it, go Minmatar or Amarr, but if you're looking for the easy route, I'd say Caldari would be your best choice. *Shrugs* But hey, I'm biased, so... 
Nova Knives are best sidearm.

The first fit is set up for scanning, 2 complex extenders, precision enhancer, 2 range amps and a profile dampener. Advanced ACR, Proto Nova Knives, F-45 RE's, Ishukone Cloak Field, basic flux grenades.
The second fit is the speed tank, three complex kincats, two enhanced extenders, one complex, combat rifle, Ishukone Nova Knives. No cloak or anything else ((PG is maxed out >.< ))
I don't usually play around with these fits at all, though they are my two favorites. Most of my scouts actually do have quite a bit more health, but I don't use them as often unless I want to screw around. I've been thinking about swapping out one of the range amps for a complex reactive plate on the first fit and getting rid of a shield extender in order to pop on another precision enhancer ((Getting tired of Gallente scouts with no dampeners fitted getting past my scans just because they're cloaked))
