Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scouting at none against Camp St Charles's shown. Scouting also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). Camp St Charles's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
