Clone scout trooper
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Clone scout troopers were clone troopers fighting for the Galactic Republic. They were often deployed into situations that required fast movement/combat. They were equipped with visors for greater vision.

[edit] History
Two of the best scouts went to Teth during the Clone Wars to track down Jabba Desilijic Tiure's son Rotta, and a few were used by Mace Windu at the Battle of Ryloth.
A number of scout troopers participated in the Battle of Kashyyyk to help defeat Trandoshan slavers alongside Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos. Armor very similar to theirs was used by standard clone troopers on jungle worlds, as well as clone swamp troopers.
After the formation of the Galactic Empire, they became scout troopers.
[edit] Equipment
Clone scout troopers were equipped with highly advanced plastoid armor, though they wore mainly a body glove on the neck, upper leg, and lower arms. They also had wider visor plates that allowed a larger visual area. They usually were armed with either DC-15A blasters, or Sniper Rifles. Occasionally, Thermal Detonators or R-1 recon droids would be used. The armor would be camouflaged to blend into the surroundings on forest and swamp worlds, or the plain white color of standard clone trooper armor.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The game Battlefront II uses a variation of the clone scout trooper as a sniper unit on the planets Kashyyyk, and Felucia.
