Scott-Malden's batting and bowling styles are unknown. He made two first-class appearances for Sussex in the 1920 County Championship against Somerset at the Recreation Ground, Bath, and Gloucestershire at Fry's Ground, Bristol.[3] Against Somerset, Scott-Malden was dismissed for 6 runs in Sussex's first-innings by Jack White, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a duck by Ernie Robson, with the match ending in a Sussex victory by 85 runs.[4] Against Gloucestershire, Scott-Malden was dismissed for a duck in Sussex's first-innings by Tommy Gange. He wasn't required to bat again in Sussex's second-innings, with Sussex winning by 4 wickets.[5]

He became headmaster of Windlesham on his mother's retirement in 1927 and remained in that position until 1953 when he was succeeded by his eldest son, Roger.

Scott-Malden died at Washington, Sussex on 27 July 1956. His second son, Charles, took over the running of the school in 1958 before retiring in 1994 as the last of the Malden headmasters whose tenure had lasted 157 years over five generations.
