Answer

SCOUT

The word comes from the Old French 'escouter' meaning to listen or heed. It can function as both a noun referring to a person who gathers information, or a verb meaning to search or explore. The term is famously associated with youth organizations like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, founded in the early 1900s.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has a common consonant blend at the start. When you get two consonants confirmed early, try placing them together rather than apart as many English words begin with consonant clusters like SC, ST, or TR.
