Is it possible to detect that the beacon is scanned?

Question

Hi, 
 I'm using nRF51822 Beacon v1.1.0. Is it possible to detect that the beacon is being scanned? Is there any event generated during this process that I can catch?

Beacons will never enter receive mode and hence it will never receive the scan request. Beacons are a specific type of advertisements. So it's not possible to send a scan request to a beacon. 
 However for other applications, currently there's no scan request event currently available in the softdevice for the nRF51 either. This is a feature we are working on and want to have available.
