It depends on how good you are. It's better to jump and dodge like a madman as long as you still land most of your shots; if you can't jump a lot and still land shots, stay on the ground (I almost never jump as Scout, partially because it throws off my aim and partially because, if done badly, it makes your dodging more predictable). If you're especially good, feel free to jump over their head and/or abuse the FaN's third jump to keep them guessing.

You stay half-way, if that makes sense. Single jump and use double jumps for misdirects and dodges.

Don't jump when it ruins your cover or alerts the enemy that you're coming.

No. It has nothing to do with how good you are.

Some Scouts (very few) know how to jump and to do it well. Most that try to jump just do it wrong.

You can change your acceleration faster on the ground and you can dodge more effectively. Most dominate scouts in todays competition stay on the ground.

The only jumping is for getting from place to place.

Lieutennet is right, jumping makes your dodging more predictable because you have less control, but you do not only use it to get from place to place, EX. any place you can be fighting an explosive class that has height, if you want me to be specific, if you are a scout fighting a soldier on the spire of badlands, jumping on and off the spire can really help, since its a small area it's really easy for the soldier to hit you but if you jump off and back on to it not only is it more room to manuver but the small amount of time that you jump off it is time that the soldier can not hit you unless the rocket hits you directly, tidelag learned this from me the hard way during the SF vs ESF match once, lol srry tidelag

pro setup:

Force of Nature
Bonk
Sandman
Gibus
Earbuds(if you don't have, a mercenary medal will do)

lol that is the least effective scout setup you can have, you have 2 bullets and a baseball bat in all throughout your entire set...so bad

Well if we wanna get picky lets just say scouts should behave differently around specific classes and groups of enemies. There's no golden ticket to negotiating enemy fire, it depends on the situation, terrain, and classes you face.
