Tema konservatiivsete veendumuste väljakujunemisele andsid tugeva tõuke 1968. aastal Pariisi puhkenud vasakpoolseid üliõpilasrahutused, mida linna Ladina kvartalis viibinud Scruton kõrvalt nägi.[4]

2016. aastal lõi kuninganna Elizabeth II Scrutoni haridus-, filosoofia- ja avaliku hariduse edendamise alaste teenete rüütliks.[5]
