Scott graduated with a B.A. in social studies and education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and a master’s degree in education administration from the University of West Virginia. Professionally Scott continued his work with Scouting as an Exploring Executive and training at the National Executive Institute when it was based in Mendham, NJ. He also continued working on NOAC staffs and became the first African American Distinguished Service Award (DSA) recipient in 1969 while working for Exploring in Portland, Oregon as a member of Skyloo Lodge.
