And btw,, Does anyone know if it has any practical use at all to set anyone as "scout"?
No, it is just a flag on the character -- there are no bonuses or other options available to anyone designated as a scout.
I was to understand that if you designated someone as scout, that that person would continue to receive bonuses from the Fleet even when they were not in the same system and up to 3 jumps away or something. Has this functionality been removed then?

Lets say I have 11 total people in my gang (including me)and I want my guys to have skill bonuses.
I have Wing Command 2 (allowing me to run 2 squads) so I must:
1) Create Fleet, move myself to wing command.
2) Create 2 squads.
3) Invite first group of friends.
4) Place 1 of my friends as squad leader of squad 1(he needs leadership 5 to have 10 people in that squad)
5) Place remaining friend as squad leader of squad 2
6) All your friends now get your bonuses.
The *only* skill squad leaders need to continue the bonus chain is leadership 5, non squad leaders need no skills trained to receive your bonuses.
Hope thats a little more straight forward :)
In this exact scenario you need :
Yourself as wing commander.
One pilot with leadership5 (squad commander)
9 squad members.
If your squad commander does not have leadership5 you will need 2 squads of fewer people with 2 squad leaders with some level of leadership. Keep in mind that leadership 1 = 2 members (leader + 1) leader5 = 10 (leader +9).

From the Dev blog found here.

There is one more role that can be assigned to a gang member, the ôScoutö, but is only used for the new broadcast system menionted below. The scout role will allow the player to send out specific broadcasts such as ôEnemy Spottedö to all gang members of a fleet.

Actually the dev blog associated with the FC change said that the commanders did not get the bonuses, but the Squad mates do... so unless it has been changed on the QT, that's still the case.

This was changed last year. Squad commanders do now recieve bonuses from their Wing Commanders. I don't remember which patch it was in (or even if itwas mentioned in the patchnotes) but it does now happen.

The scout is able to send certain broadcasts to the whole gang, and is 'immune' to gang warps. This makes them ideal for covert ops pilots which should not be included in mass warps.
Gang bonuses do not carry over between systems, regardless of fleet position.
