Settlers who have not been assigned to anything will occasionally do exactly what a Scavenger does, so you do not require Scavenger stations, but it's wise to do so because Scavengers produce more random junk and, as Poppy notes below, Settlers who aren't assigned cause a Settlement's happines to drop. Unassigned Settlers & How Scavengers Work In order for the scavenging station to function, you must assign a Settler to it by selecting one with the confirm button then clicking the station - you now have a scavenger. You can make a Scavenging Station under Resources > Miscellaneous. You cannot select what they find, but you can occasionally get lucky and discover they have found some rare material that you need for a weapon/armor mod, or just more luxuries for your Settlements. Settlers who are assigned as Scavengers will regularly deposit random items into the Workshop inventory, which can be used for your own crafting. Scavenger stations are one of the more interesting jobs you can assign to a Settler in Fallout 4, and many people will wonder how it works. They will randomly deposit items to your Settlement's inventory.
