How do I set scouts to auto-explore?

It's been a while since I've played this and I know I used to do this all the time but for the life of me I can't figure out where to tell them to Auto-explore.

Just hit the E key on your keyboard. Make sure you have the scout selected though.

Also, units have an automate command under the submenu, accessed by clicking the triple chevron icon (3 arrows pointing right).

A scout on auto will not trigger the CS trespassing warning. I stopped using that feature when my scout was trapped in a CS long enough to trigger war. Even if they only get trapped a few turns it can cost a good amount of CS rep.

Caravels have better sight, so they don't tend to enter CS territory like scouts do. I still auto caravels.
