==Thunderbirds 2004 film==
In the film, he is portrayed by actor Philip Winchester. Since the film focuses on Alan Tracy, not much is known about this version of the character.
Scott assists his father during a rescue which takes place at an oil rig. He doesn't seem to mind the fact that their efforts are being broadcast live on the news, and even take time out to perform a few aerial stunts after their success.
In-universe material establishes that Scott is 24 years old, and therefore still the oldest brother. He is a graduate of Wharton Academy for Boys (the school that Alan and Fermat attend), having graduated with "record grades" that his brothers have so far not been able to match, something that he constantly reminds them of.
==In Thunderbirds Are Go!==
In the 2015 TV Series, Scott is portrayed by Rasmus Hardiker. Scott is still the eldest and most experienced Tracy brother and he is bold and fearless in action. He is also the team leader.
==Personality in the Classic series==
Scott is fast-talking, quick-witted and quick-thinking. He has brains, brawn, and boldness. With all these qualities he has the confidence to make instant decisions, backed by a fierce determination and unfaltering bravery. When off duty, Scott is relaxed, good humoured and loves home cooking.
==Personality in Thunderbirds Are Go!==
Scott is as selfless, brave, and even as humorous as his siblings, on and off the job. He is highly intelligent and imaginative when it comes to working with what he has and coming up with ideas swiftly. He is overall friendly to rescue victims, even if they are being difficult like Marion Van Arkel was is, whom Scott managed to put up with and reason with, and he was even kind enough to find her a job. However, since he is more easily swayed by his emotions, Scott can be more reckless and less user friendly; He nearly punched Professor Harold in the face after hearing his total disconcern for the lives of Gordon, Parker and Penelope, and he probably would have done if Virgil wasn't there to restrain him. He is not afraid to doubt his family; occasionally telling Virgil or Alan not to come with him on rescue missions. A notable example of this is when he was very tempted to press the big red button that stops the train to be like a "brick wall", instead of letting Brains stop it in a more complex and time-consuming, but much safer way. Scott often knows his limits though, which is why he took Brains with him. Scott can joke around during mission like his brothers, but he takes his work at International Rescue very seriously deep down, and even claimed to Virgil that it is the only thing that keeps him going after the heart breaking disappearance of his father. Scott is friendly to his allies and is proud of his brothers, and there are scenes that portray him as the most leader-like. When his brothers were having an argument about being unable to save the crew of CIR.R.U.S., Scott was the one who stopped the yelling, and was the one who calmly told them that they must accept their failure.
