You see it works like this: there are various trees and branches and such that form the scouting system. The tree trunk(original scouter), can form multiple branches, that then go on to form their own branches, that form their own branches, and so on. Normally this makes quite a tree: a chain bounding all of them together like a family tree.
There is however one problem, amputating a branch, or even going as far as the tree trunk, will not only stop growth, but kill all the branches as well. However, it is known that only assholes cut down trees for no reason.
Unfortunately: it is well known various molds and disease can befall these trees. If left untreated, the growth of the molds and disease can become catastrophic.
One of the most common molds to infect these branches is anthromoporoso dentrophallious, or "smelly fur branches". This particular, and rampant, disease forms a brownish-green mold around the branches that peculiarly resembles animal fur, releasing a smell similar to rotting cabbage and unwashed basement dwellers. Studies have shown that if left untreated, anthromoporoso dentrophallious can cause aids in surrounding trees, and individuals observing the trees.
What makes this disease particularly dangerous is that fact that it doesn't stop at the infected area. Once the branch of the tree becomes infected, it continues to draw out the anthromoporoso dentrophallious spores from the unscouticus-userportalis, or the dirt the tree is planted in, as it continues to form more branches infected with the disease.
The only known way to stop this rampant disease is to amputate the branches, beginning with the original point. Though effective, it also hurts the tree, causing irreparable damage to further unaffected branches.
