Scout gets a mention in The Essential Guide to Warfare, in the form of a letter written to her by Ahsoka Tano. Mostly the letter is a chance to exposition dump about the battle, and those parts I didn't transcribe, but a few parts I did.
...Scout's Jedi Master was killed on Geonosis while she stayed behind, just a little too young to go into battle. She spent most of the Clone Wars training furiously trying to be picked by a new one, hating herself for not having been there to maybe save Chankar Kim, longing to get out of the Temple and make a difference among the stars, and increasingly convinced that other Jedi didn't like her and she'd never have the chance. With that in mind, Ahsoka's letter is amazingly thoughtless and kind of cruel.

Hey Scout,
Well, here I am. I just helped kick the Seperatists off a planet called Christophis in Savareen sector, and I have a new Jedi Master called... wait for it... SKYWALKER! Yeah, that one! Turns out he's only four or five years older than me. Might be cute if he didn't have the weight-of-the-galaxy thing on him all the time. (I know, Jedi Code and all. A girl still notices!)
[...] It felt different, being in the middle of a battlefield. Kenobi and Skyguy and the clone commanders are all really military and professional - and tall - but I think they like me. And you have no idea what it's like to see a front-line fleet in orbit, all the big ships up close in the starry blackness. Really cool.
[...] Yeah, I've been on Christophis about an hour, and I have to pull a wall down on some droids to save my master's behind. He wasn't exactly grateful, but I think he just doesn't like it when he feels like he has to rely on other people.
[...]So maybe I didn't need to spend my lunch break dodging blasterfire. Still, I hope Skyguy noticed my moves, and the whole saving-his-life thing.
Anyway, that was Christophsis - terrifying and exciting and exhausting. Now Skyguy and me and a bunch of clones are off on a secret mission, which of course means I can't tell you anything else, sorry. I'll write again soon because I miss the Temple, and I miss you. At least I do when I get time to breathe!
Your friend,
Ahsoka.
