I was never sure Scout really lost her innocence, although she did grow in understanding. Her affectionate greeting of Boo Radley at the end seems as if her innocence has not been touched. But she now understands better why it is wrong to "kill a mockingbird."
Remember when Atticus was confronted by a mob; among the mob was a poor white man whom Atticus had helped professionally with his "entailment." It was Scout's innocence that reminded the men of Atticus's humanity and kindness.
But remember, even in Kindergarten she had a temper and got into fights when other kids say mean things. And she was rude to her guest the Cunningham boy, and was disciplined for this. She had evil impulses just like everybody does. In fact, she's not all that innocent. Atticus and Calpurnia work to develop her character.
