Your area may be different, but here in California the only time you see any scouts at a HS game is when there is a known high level pro prospect on one of the teams. So if you or one of your teammates throws 95+ or hits like Bryce Harper, then yes, you'll see lots of scouts at games.
Founders League is excellent! Congrats on being able to go to one of these schools (I am surprised you know since admissions decisions are not until March 10th -- unless you are a PG?).
I do have a son who played several sports for 4 years in this league, including baseball. You will see scouts at hockey tournaments, and of course at crew events, but not many other sports. Maybe a few other end of season tournaments for several sports since these schools are situated in the backyard of numerous colleges (Ivy, Nescac and others).
However, I never saw any scouts at any games -- and we had several boys who moved on to play baseball collegiately (my son plays a different sport in college), and also played against some VERY good players including a star player at Vanderbilt, among other excellent players now at schools across the country. The boys on my son's team who moved on did the usual showcases, summer teams and events.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info.
