Now to get a good scouting report, first of all you better have enough scouts to break through any defending scouts (only applicable in PvP, barbarian cities have no scouts and you can just send 1 scout if you like.) Also make sure to send a hero, preferably one with high intelligence rating to help improve your scouting. The third thing, is that the level of your Beacon Tower from the town which you scouting originates plays a factor in how well your scouting does. And the 4th and most important is your Informatics technology level (this is one of the cheapest and easiest techs to reach level 10 and should be done so early in your civilization.)
