Dear Sirs:

Enclosed is a copy of Form N-17f-2, along with our related report, dated August 21, 2013, on our examination of the investment portfolio of Scout Funds as of the close of business on April 30, 2013.

Very truly yours,

Patrick DiStefano

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of
Scout Funds:

We have examined management's assertion included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 that Scout Funds (the "Trust"), comprising the Scout Mid Cap Fund, Scout Small Cap Fund, Scout International Fund, Scout International Discovery Fund, Scout Global Equity Fund, Scout Core Bond Fund, Scout Core Plus Bond Fund, Scout Unconstrained Bond Fund, Scout Emerging Markets Fund, and Scout Low Duration Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") as of April 30, 2013. Management is responsible for the Trust's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Trust's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and accordingly, included examining on a test basis, evidence about the Trust's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of April 30, 2013, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from March 31, 2013 (the date of our last examination) through April 30, 2013:

Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form with The Depository Trust Company, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Fidelity Investments, Federated Investors, and Citibank Global Transaction Services;

Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of each of the Funds and the
Custodian (UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliated entity); and

Agreement of 25 security purchases and 25 security sales or maturities since our last examination from the books and records of the corresponding Funds to the source documentation from the brokers.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Trust's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Trust complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of April 30, 2013, with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Trust is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of Scout Funds and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
