I also find that OSA and my new scout have vast differences on particular subjects sometimes like Contact, Power, etc.
My question is who do I trust? Should I absolutely trust my new Excellent rated scout and how he sees the prospects as not so special as OSA does?

It's mainly subjective, I use take both in stride because it is up to the player to develop into the player the scouts have set for him, with both ratings he could end up failing and flaming out.
In my experience, the player develops more to OSA's standards with a dash of your scout's report too. So if you find a guy who is 5 stars with OSA and ditto with your scout, it is more than likely a superstar.
In this case I would take your scouts word, but still keep that OSA rating in your mind.
