Karthik has given a talk for several years now called Effective FIRST Strategies. It's definitely worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smWy7FQ8jLE
Following this video is extremely useful. It provides strong insight into every aspect of the position you have described.

Additionally, I would also recommend that you take as much relevant data as you can during scouting. Its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Lastly, make sure your scouters are having fun. I know that some years, the lead strategists have made scouting horrific for some rookies. It shouldn't be that hard, but just make sure you are catering to their needs some and not working them around the clock.

Good luck!
