send out emails if you are looking for a scouting gig. Search teams websites and try to contact GM's,coaches,Directors of Player Development, etc.
At the Junior level, most teams want all the help they can get.
My first jobs scouting for teams was more volunteer work, but I managed to get a paying gig after awhile. Work hard and most people will be happy to help move you on.
If you have any sort of resume I would include it.
I got my scouting gigs through playing juniors and meeting ALOT of people along the way. Most of my communication is through email though and in some cases the GM's knew me only as a player and not as a person, but sometimes thats enough to go on.
HeadCoach-
I agree with the advice on the USA hockey coaching seminars. You can meet alot of people that way as well.
And I am on the east coast, scouting for a mid-west team-It's so hard to get a kid to go west,but with the classification changes...some kids have been taking a chance.
