1. Is the Scout good enough for upgrades if we like it that much?
Yes.

I presume you ask because the geometry for the 26" small is smaller than the geometry for the 700c small.
First question is "why are you afraid of 26 inch?". There's a long back-and-forth on which is better in some way, and there are good arguments either way.
But the real answer is to look at which of your (4?) frames fits you best, and then get the horizontal distance right. That includes top tube and stem. The reason they make a shorter top tube version in 26" is that they can get away with it without toe strike issues.
