Always the entertainer, in school he performed Rumpelstiltskin as the lead character.

He continued to excel at academics (and sometimes entertainment), graduating in 1976. Scott practised law in Moncton, Salisbury and Riverview from 1976 to 2000.

Scott was a long-time member of the Conservative Party and Elks Club.
