The rulebook says you need to declare units outflanking/reserve/DS during YOUR deployment phase?

Do you need to declare if the unit is outflanking in its transport? I couldnt find that in the rulebook.

Unit of striking scorpions decides to outflank, does it need to decare if its outflanking in its transport? And if so why?

Counting from the top, it's paragraph six in the left column on page 94.

Because if they're in the transport then both are outflanking and only one roll is made.

If they're not in the transport then the transport must be rolled for separately and, also, may not outflank.

Also note that if you declare that they are coming on in their transport, then they must enter the battlefield embarked on it. This usually makes it impossible to charge on the same turn (except with open-topped vehicles, etc.), so you have to kit out your outflankers carefully to match the role you want them to play.
