private IP scans

["White, Stacy" <SWhite () catfish bbc peachnet edu>]

Hey! I am new here so forgive me if I ask anything dumb right off the bat.
 
I am getting a lot of scans against my network from private IP ranges. Looks
random, and the IP's are random as well.
I am assuming a stealth scan, maybe NMAP. Anyone else experiencing this, or
know what it is?
