Had this situation come up in a game the other day.

my opponent used a scout move with his transport and was wondering if he could disembark.

I was not sure either way, but consulted the rulebook quickly and decided to allow the disembark.

Was this correct RaW? Or was this incorrect?

The only thing we came up with was the scout USR says that "[the move] is done exactly as in their movement phase,..."

The main rulebook FAQ specifically allows it.

Disembarking is not a move (although it does count as moving for shooting purposes), it is simply deploying/placing models near access points (which is often followed by a normal move).

Even if it were, the passengers themselves would need scout, and they'd still need to stay 12" away from enemies.

EDIT: It appears my first sentence was incorrect, but the second sentence still stands. Thank you Mannahnin.

Thank you for pointing that out mann found it in the main FAQ:

Q: If a unit with the Scouts special rule is embarked in a
vehicle, also with the Scouts special rule, can they
disembark after the vehicle has moved as part of their
Scouts move? (p76)
A: Yes, as long as disembarking would be allowed during a
normal Movement phase. For example if the vehicle has
moved flat out they would not be allowed to disembark
(unless specifically stated otherwise)
