The main group is sitting still and the scout(s) is traveling.2. The main group is traveling, but behind the scout who is traveling separately.3. The group is traveling together and there is no scout.Traveling in 5e is literally movement.  The travel chart on PHB page 182 shows that.  That chart is literally racial movement speed x 10 rounds(1 minute), racial movement speed x 600(1 hour), and racial movement speed x 2400(day).Which is fine. There's nothing wrong with changing the rules to suit your personal preference.  You ARE changing the rules, though.  It's spelled out in literal black and white in the PHB that walking through a dungeon is travel, so all the travel rules by RAW apply to dungeon exploration.No I do not ask them, because typically they are moving at their individual speeds, or likely as fast as the slowest member.  However, I have many times over the year had a split party and one gets into trouble either within earshot or with a special means of communication.  At that point the group not in trouble runs back to help, clearly moving at a fast pace and triggering those rules.  Other times, at least as numerous and probably more so, I've had groups tell me that they are moving slowly looking for traps, triggering the slow pace rules.  Absent being told differently, they are moving at a normal pace triggering those travel rules.</blockquote>
