It maybe that they already some outdoor experience because of their backstory. In our game the player who choose  scout was a goliath, so it was part of their upbringing.Or maybe their experiences at level 1 and 2 lead to them developing those skills.But it's no different to something like paladin oaths. It's up to the player to sell their subclass choice and make it a believable part of that character's story.There is already a rule in the PHB that lets you select proficiency in a different skill if you are granted one you already have. It's designed for backgrounds, but it's perfectly reasonable to extend it to skills granted by classes.</blockquote>
