Okay, my thoughts.
Positive - Crawdads. It's locally interesting, and who doesn't want to yell, "Suck our heads!" to the other team? Neutral - Fighting Banana Slugs, Redlegs, Barbecuers. I like the Slugs name, but Santa Cruz really owns it. Maybe we could come up with a different slug or something. Redlegs isn't objectionable, but it's kind of Cincinnati's name. And I could live with Barbecuers, though I'm not in love with it. Negative - Scouts. So here's the thing. It's a great name. It's an awesome name. But will it fly? What type of scout is it? If it's a white scout like Kit Carson, there's no way it'll pass. We're replacing an Indian theme with a theme of people who conquered Indians. If it's an Indian scout, then maybe it's okay, but are Indian scouts showing the proper reverence and adulation towards Indians? Are we talking about scouts who killed white people or scouts who worked for white people? I love the name, but I think it'll prove to be problematic in implementation. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to very reluctantly vote against any option that involves a human being of any type. Humans aren't perfect, and any imperfection will make us a target.

If they don’t like Chiefs....then they aren’t going to like Scouts.

These all end in S, so they are better than trash.

I was outside yesterday morning and saw a salamander with an incredibly bright blue tail and googled "salamander blue tail" and they are called skinks.
That might not help considering the Chiefs colors, but if they come after the Royals for obvious reasons, that might be an option.
