Which they shouldn't do.
They shouldn't follow the directions of their marshal and/or general?
Or they shouldn't save people from the realms other army from saving their hours (and scouts!) by avoiding an unessential scouting mission?
People play the game off the messages page. "I want scribe notes now for Evilstan and Evilville" is on the message page. people finish reading the messages, don't see the scribe note, and send their scout out. checking the scribe notes is an extra step that people simply don't take.
If the scribe notes had a "share with realm" option, then perhaps that would change.
