whats it doing?  or not doing.  are you using round ball an if so are you bolwing patches.  as a side note load a little hornets nest over the ball or mimi and you will solve many blown patches problems.  more info please

Lots of luck in getting the T/C Scout to even go bang. That was an exceptionally stupid design. Fire from the cap has to jump a gap, pass two side vents, travel down a long tube and through a small orifice before reaching the powder charge. A slight hangfire is considered good from a Scout, long hangfires and complete misfires are more common. I have a permanent tattoo under my right eye caused by blow-back from the only time I ever fired a T/C Scout, fortunately I always wear glasses or I would have lost at least one eye. My best advise for your Scout is to polish it up real nice and hang it on the wall.
