For the scout force you could say that a certain unit can count as troops maybe. I'm thinking of the DA codex for example, the natural scouts are either scouts (in the elite slot) or ravenwing bikes (in the fast attack slot unless you use Sammael, which in a 500pt force is a bit ridiculous since he comes in at 205pts).
Personally I would prefer things to be more fluffy in the campaign, as opposed to a tournament, so we can surely bend the FOC a bit?
Maybe a list of acceptable scout units. For example in the Necron codex I will be using the natural scouts are probably Deathmarks (although more assassins really) and tomb blades (fast attack, although I don't own any). What do you think? Not trying to get an advantage, just want it to be as fluffy as poss.
Scouts don't have to necessarily be fast, they can be stealthy instead. Also moving in a more open formation and smaller groups than a massed army will naturally mean they can cover more ground anyway.
I would also suggest possibly banning flyers in the scout force as it could possibly make it very unbalanced and therefore not very fun, unless you allowed the players territory you are moving through a free anti-air platform (quad gun or icarus lascannon) to represent their ground-to-air defences, in which case you could have a single flyer.
just my thoughts
