Fredrick Arthur Scott was born in 1914 to Alfreda and William Scott. Fredrick attended Llewellyn Hall between 1926 and 1930, and McGill University between 1933 and 1938, where he received a Bachelor of Science. In 1939-1940, Fredrick completed his training with the Royal Canadian Air Force, 30 (R.A.F) Squadron, and was deployed to Egypt.
