A scanner alt will provide you with the means to scan your way out of a W-Space system even if your main isn't there. With further training this alt can be used for K-Space exploration while your main clears the sites. With even further training your alt can act as cloaky eyes, scout and probe much more efficiently.
Preparation
It is important to read this section as it will save you a lot of time and frustrations. Before you even create a character, there are many things to consider: The race of your character, whether you have other characters in the account and if you want to do a neural remap.
Racial Characters
Since slot layouts for exploration frigates change by race, you must consider which race you want your alt to be. Here is a small table outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each ship. All of these ships can easily fly with the skills and fittings listed below so fitting requirement shouldn't be of concern.

Pause Training
If you are creating an alt on an account with other characters, it is important to note that only one character can be training skills at a time. Attempting to add skills to the training queue will result in an error, so you will need to pause training on your currently training character, or activate Multiple Character Training.
Neural Remap
It is recommended that you remap to Intelligence/Memory. This will speed up your training.
Bare Bones Scanner
Since the Vanguard changes, all characters now start with the skills required to fly a bare bones scanner with the ability to scan.
Fittings
Just the Magnate, Heron, Imicus or Probe with a Core Probe Launcher I and Sister Core Scanner Probes.
Basic Scanner
Basic Scanner
This is the suggested training queue for W-Space scanning alts. They allow you to keep an eye on connections for your main while taking a reasonable amount of time to train.

Total Training Time: ~2d 14h 35m

If you want your alt to hack, analyze sites and provide a decent scanning platform for harder sites you will need these skills;

You will also need to train (depending on the race of your alt):

Cloaky Eyes, Scanner and Support
This is a fully fleshed out Covert Ops skill plan. It is only suggested if you want to provide out of corp eyes against enemies or if you have use for a highly efficient scanner. Covert Ops ships have much better bonuses to scanning, can warp cloaked and can scan down ships, structures, bubbles, you name it.

Covert Ops I Covert Ops II Covert Ops III Electronics Upgrades IV Electronics Upgrades V Astrometrics IV Cloaking II Cloaking III Cloaking IV Energy Grid Upgrades III Warp Drive Operation II Warp Drive Operation III Warp Drive Operation IV Evasive Maneuvering II Evasive Maneuvering III
You will also need to train (depending on the race of your alt):
Total Training Time: ~32d 12h 32m
Fittings
Please refer to the Scouting guide for fittings.
