The pin trading expert stopped trading pins recently but was still one of the lighthearted citizens that guests know and love. His portrayer, Holland Hayes, posted this on Facebook, as an almost goodbye to his fans:
"You know that sudden empty feeling of sad disappointment when you discover Scoop is not on Main Street today? Get ready to feel it a lot more.
More often I mean. It will still be brief, disappearing the instant you encounter one of the other dazzling Citizens of Main Street USA. Or handsome Leading Man and Magic Kingdom Park Vice President Dan Cockerell. Or at the very least you shall be restored upon entering one of the six other magical themed lands of The Most Magical Place on Earth
You’re gonna miss me!
And I you."
In the comment section he had posted that his contract wasn't renewed, however that he still will fill-in at Disney World when other cast members are on vacation or have called in.  We will surely miss you, Scoop.
