Show me a team's scout team and I will let you know how successful they are. Ultimate example of accepting your role and doing what you can to help the team. Effort is a metric of care.

I agree 100% with you. But I think when a scout team is good teams are successful because they have talented backups. If you have a bunch of slappies over there the effort is important but might not be enough. |

Obviously roster size and number of two way guys is a big factor. That said, we put as many starters as we can on the scout team, especially on the fronts.
When we go to seconds against the "second scout", it's generally bad football played by the bottom half of our roster, but when we are really close to "good vs good" we get pretty competitive and physical practice reps, and it helps the starters and the scouts get better during those reps.

This is the entire reason I have been looking to change offenses from the dbl te dbl wing (Jr High level). Just havent been able to practice many live reps because the dbl wing doesn't lend itself much to half line play. |

Yes, your scout team can depend on your roster size and how good your backups are. However, I’ve coached on teams where starters were allowed to stand on the sideline while freshmen and sophomores took every snap on scout. Anyone not on Team O/D needs to be on scout, which doesn’t always happen.
The quality of your scout team also depends on the coach. If the coach doesn’t care, scout won’t care. If the coordinator doesn’t have detailed scout cards, it will affect how well the scout team practices. It’s not all on the players.

We faced a Single Wing team, so I took out the Scout team kids early to install the plays while the starters looked at film.
We then had the Scout team kids run the plays while the starters watched from a nearby hillside, before going live in practice.
We were far ahead in the 4th quarter, and when we put in the Scout team, they begged us to let them run the Single Wing to show our opponents "how is was supposed to be run!"
Motivation?
I would buy pizza for the Scout kids if they scored a TD on the starters in practice, if we won.

We split practices between Friday night players and Thursday night players. All coaches except coordinators spend at least 1 Indy period and group/team periods with the Thursday night players each day.
For the varsity, we will have certain segments of practice were we go good on good; it might be inside, perimeter, skeleton, team; it just depends on the weekly plans and how it fits into that day.
There will also be periods were we will run back ups/Thursday night players versus the 1s.
We have 2 fields that are fairly close to one another, and I run the Thursday night crew/field. So, there are times in which I'll have to send down some players to fill in for scout team.
Again it is all planned out/prepared in the weekly scheduling. It may change week to week depending on circumstances and opponents.
