Debatable. Some Chapters have full Battle-Brothers in their Scout companies due to the experience factor it adds in, and the Brothers in question's aptitude for insurgency/guerilla warfare.

FYP. All Scout Sergeants are full marines. You can't have recruits training recruits.

I don't know how much FW wants to give RG their own list, or variant units, but having different types of Scout squads would be a simple one. Have the "elite" guerilla warfare fighting veteran one and then the fresh off the gunship recruit "troop" choice. Veteran scouts with full marine veteran stats could be armed with silenced bolters (like Telion), sniper rifles, a demo-charge type thing and improved homer.
