Scouts disappearing with no report means you got scouted and they had more scouts than you did.

Yeah check your Rally Point - Medic Camp. I'm sure some of your scouts are lying there waiting for your visit.
Scout's:
I don't even build these units anymore. They are a waste of time 3/4th's the time.
So far:
My intelligent scouts have decided to take on Archer Tower's while scouting. Took my 20K scouts to kill his 23 Archer Tower's.. Brilliant scouts. They ALL died fighting tower's for some reason!
They've also decided to go run and ride the abatis to death!! Must be difficult for these so sneaky wise open-eye'd lil fellow's to notice a 5000 range abatis sitting in it's path!!
Defensively.
They dissapear because they get out number'd. So while they are getting slaughter'd by other scout's. Those wise Archer Tower guys are sitting around playing poker and getting drunk. Obviously. Cuz they can't hear my scouts getting onslaught.
Even after that. It doesn't even give you a notice saying. O' by the way. Your 50K scouts and their horses are blood splatter'd all over your fields and their limbs making your new bushes n tree's... I actually have to check on em constantly to see if their alive.
These idiots are a waste of time.
I'll just continue to overwhelm in troops to where if you attack me.. You'll be my new yard decoration. Disposable Gnomes.

When you get scouted and the gates are open, any scouts in your town will attempt to repel the enemy scouts. If they are successful you get a report detailing the battle, however if they lose there is no report, think of it as no report is filed since no one is left alive. Scout battles are the same as any other battle, except only scouts are involved and other troops/defenses are not active, meaning tech levels and hero attack are factors.
Your scouts only deal with abatis when they attack, but yes, they are one of the two units that abatis kill.
I've answered this question like 100 times and yet people still post false / wrong information about it. Crazy.
Scouts are one of the most valuable troops in the game. Even with the bug which occasionally turns scout missions into attack missions.
When someone scouts you, if the battle lasts 1 round you get no report. If the battle lasts MORE than 1 round (which is only happens when you have lots of scouts and even numbers) but you still lose you can get a report.
The same is true of offensive scouting, you will get a blank box if you scout and fail in one round, you will get a number if you scout and fail in multiple rounds (again only happens with high numbers).
This only occurs with gates open, scout on scout action. Hawt.
