I took a break for awhile. When I left there were gangs, now there is Fleet... I havent been able to find any guides on how to use these options. Can anyone kick down some info on how it works or point me to a guide?
Thanks.

Before there were gangs, then there were gangs with an option to convert to fleet, now there's just fleets.
A fleet is essentially a gang with a hierarchy, you can have a fleet commander who (according to skills) can have up to 5 wings. Each Wing Commander can have (again according to skills) up to 5 squads. Squad commanders look after their sqauds.
Commanders have options to warp their fleet/wing/squad. It makes it easy to delegate teams and postition your fleet. "Wing 3 - Squad 2 take position behind and jam, Wing 4- Squad 1 uncloak and fire missiles, Wing Commander 1 warp your wing to me, etc."
Each fleet/wing/squad can also have a booster, providing bonuses from their leadership skills.
I don't know of any guides, but it's not hard to learn if your corp regularly runs gangs. The leadership skills have some descriptions on what you can do. I suggest form a fleet with a buddy and take a look at the options, they're all fairly self explanatory.
Another option might be to take an Agony Unleashed course.....they do a lot of fleet work in the basic course.

The only feautre I still do not see any use for is "Scout". As far as I can tell it must just be something to label someone so the rest of the fleet knows who the Scout is, because it seems to have 0 impact otherwise.

Scout gets some extra options, like being able to broadcast a destination.

It also ties in with EVE Voice, which has options to allow the scouts to speak over other people or directly to the FC when required I believe.

Also, I believe that scouts are never included in gangwarps, which can be very useful (or rather, the converse can be frustrating).
