Is a VFR flight following request implied when talking to tower and advising them of your intended airport? If I am at a towered airport in class delta airspace and I'm departing VFR and tell the ground where I want to go, is it implied to the controller that I'm requesting VFR flight following?

Let's say I'm at the Chandler Municipal airport (KCHD), and I'm headed to the Scottsdale airport, which is in another class delta, and I probably need to transit the Phoenix bravo airspace.

I call Chandler Tower up and say:

"Skyhawk 283JS with information sierra, FBO, north departure to Scottsdale airport"

Will the tower controller coordinate flight following for me and assign a squawk based on this request? Or do I need to specifically request "VFR flight following" if I want it?
It is not. You must explicitly add 


  Requesting VFR Flight Following 


Depending on the airport in question the tower may simply tell you to contact approach once in the air to request flight following. Other towers may set it up for you. 

The notation of your destination is extraneous. When departing you generally tell the tower you direction of departure not your destination. 

Flight flowing is also not an implied bravo clearance, you will need to request that once in the air. If you are taking off from a towered field you can ask for a handoff when requesting your clearance, this may help facilitate your clearance request as well as your flight following request.
