Huh?
Admittedly, I hadn't heard of the Scout (it was before my time), so I looked up its stats on Astronautix.com. The comparison is hard for me to see. They're both rockets, but beyond that, I'm lost. SpaceX's Falcon costs half as much (in 2003 dollars), has four times the payload -- that makes it eight times cheaper, per pound to orbit, than the Scout--, is liquid fueled rather than solid fueled, is operationally simpler (2 stages vs. 4 or 5), and is partially reusable. So what was your basis for comparison again?
Confused,
