A strongly connected digraph \(D\) is primitive provided the greatest common divisor of the lengths of its directed cycles equals 1. The scrambling index of a primitive digraph \(D\) is the smallest positive integer \(k\) such that for every pair of vertices \(u\) and \(v\), there is a vertex \(w\) such that we can get to \(w\) from \(u\) and \(v\) in \(D\) by directed walks of length \(k\). In this paper, we characterize those primitive doubly symmetric digraphs with the largest scrambling index.
