Cavalry Scout is indeed a MOS. It's MOS 19D, if I remember correctly. It falls under the "Armor" branch, though (because Cavalry Scouts are also trained as operators/crewmen for the M2/M3 Bradley). I don't know if the 75th Ranger Regiment has any Cavalry Scouts attached to it these days... but traditionally, it's been a pure infantryman (MOS 11B) unit, with indirect fire infantrymen (MOS 11C) handling the mortars in the weapons companies.
Cavalry Scouts in a reconnaissance role are mostly assigned to dedicated Armor and Cavalry units. They serve on motorized (HMMWVs) or dismounted (on foot) reconnaissance/surveillance troops and/or platoons. I know there are a number of mixed infantry/cavalry scout units, just can't recall for sure which ones they are. I think the 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade's Long Range Surveillance Squadron is composed of a mix of MOS 11B and MOS 19D soldiers (more of the latter than the former, though).
