Only [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipan_Apache_people Lipan], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiricahua Chiricahua] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescalero Mescaleros] had scout ''societies''. The scouts' [[original]] [[purpose]] was to [[protect]] his people from [[enemies]], and to locate [[Food|game]] and new campsites.

The scouts [[trained]] their own clansmen in an [[intense]] [[process]] that lasted over ten years. Young [[children]] within the [[clan]] would be closely [[observed]] by current scouts and [[elders]]. Those who showed [[promise]] in [[skills]]—such as [[awareness]], tracking and hunting, [[physical]] fitness, and [[selflessness]]—would be selected to undergo the [[training]] [[process]].

Training included advanced [[techniques]] of [[camouflage]] and [[invisibility]] as well as of [[observation]] and stalking. These [[skills]] led to their nicknames as "''shadow people''" and "''[[ghosts]]''". The scouts became masters of [[wilderness]] [[survival]], excelling beyond the [[skills]] of the lay clansmen. This was [[necessary]], for they often had to leave the clan for extended periods of [[time]] with little more than knives.

Moreover, the upcoming scouts were taught a highly [[complex]] system of tracking, utilizing miniature [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topography topographic] features within each footprint. These features could tell the trackers anything from the [[speed]] at which the [[animals]] were moving, to the [[directions]] the animals, or [[humans]], were looking at the times they left the track. Some tracking [[experts]], such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brown,_Jr. Tom Brown, Jr]., assert that scout-trained trackers could know whether the makers were [[hungry]], [[pregnant]], or had to urinate, and to what [[degree]].

The word [[clan]] was not used back in 1150 AD, nor 500 BC with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache Apaches], they were all [[tribe]] members starting at the age of eight to ten years old. They had to be [[aware]], able to track, hunt, become [[physically]] fit, and undergo [[rigorous]] [[training]] with the adult "tracker Apache". The [[camouflage]] wasn't used while training, only actual [[hunting]], and [[battle]]. The nicknames were based on when they were [[born]], and what their birth name was, also how well they came through [[training]], then they were given a name.
