True enough, but I've also seen plenty of reports with a nearby hut being grabbed by an exploring neighbours...
My proposed move (2-3, I think) keeps the Scout moving South an revealing terrain, but also gives the option of darting back for the hut. Doing that would also bring him to the Coast (I think) and helps reveal that area.
Basically, I think it trades 2turns of "distance" scouting for 2t of local tile reveals as well as guaranteeing the hut.
