Scott was born on the Isle of Wight at Binstead in May 1903. He was invited to trial for Hampshire in 1925, though a hand injury that season prevented him from playing.[1] He later made his debut for Hampshire against Essex at Southampton in the 1927 County Championship, with Scott making five appearances for Hampshire during that season.[2] He scored 102 runs in his five appearances for Hampshire, at an average of 20.40 and a highest score of 35.[3] With his off break bowling, he took 4 wickets with best figures of 2 for 66.[4] At the end of that season, Scott was offered a professional contract by Hampshire. He decided against accepting the contract offer, preferring the security afforded to him through his employment with the Midland Bank at Shanklin.[1][5] He continued to play cricket at club level.[1]
