Morphology
The meaning 'a boy who is a member of the Boy Scouts' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'boy' (male child) with 'Scout' (participant in Scouting). This noun–noun composition follows standard English patterns and is cross-linguistically intuitive, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would reliably infer the intended meaning (aside from recognizing it may be a named organization via capitalization).
Etymology
Boy Scout comes from the word scout, which meant someone who looked ahead for soldiers, and early groups taught young boys to watch, camp, and use outdoor skills. So a Boy Scout today is a young 'member' who learns 'camping', 'survival', and 'helping the community'.
