Scott oversatte etter 1812-krigen flere [[Napoléon Bonaparte|napoleonske]] manualer til [[engelsk]]. På forespørsel fra krigsdepartementet punliserte Scott ''Abstract of Infantry Tactics, Including Exercises and Manueuvres of Light-Infantry and Riflemen, for the Use of the Militia of the United States''<ref>[http://home.att.net/~Cap1MD/ABFormReg.htm Abstract of Infantry Tactics, Including Exercises and Manueuvres of Light-Infantry and Riflemen, for the Use of the Militia of the United States]</ref> i 1830 til bruk blant de amerikanske militsene.

Scott skrev i 1840 ''Infantry Tactics, Or, Rules for the Exercise and Maneuvre of the United States Infantry''.<ref>[http://home.att.net/~Rebmus/SCOTTSTACTICS.htm Infantry Tactics, Or, Rules for the Exercise and Maneuvre of the United States Infantry]</ref> Dette verket i tre bind var standard drillmanual for US Army frem til [[William J. Hardde]]s ''Tactics'' ble publisert i 1855.

General Scott var svært interessert i den profesjonelle utviklingen av kadetter ved [[US Military Academy]].<ref>Waugh, John, ''The Class of 1846: From West Point to Appomattox: Stonewall Jackson, George McClellan, and Their Brothers'', Ballantine Books, 1999, ISBN 0-345-43403-X.</ref>
