Scouts are just expected to encounter the enemy first (like any old person that scouts); there's no guarantee that they'll die first :P All the Guides we've seen are being used by Regulars, and Rankers alike, to aid them in climbing the Tower; not exactly liberating :P If anything, Guides seem more like canaries in a coal mine (with the addition that a Guide knows where they're going).

But whatever floats your boat XD
