From the header section on scrolls in the SRD :Activate the Spell Activating a scroll requires reading the spell from the scroll. The character must be able to see and read the writing on the scroll. Activating a scroll spell requires no material components or focus. (The creator of the scroll provided these when scribing the scroll.) Note that some spells are effective only when cast on an item or items. In such a case, the scroll user must provide the item when activating the spell. Activating a scroll spell is subject to disruption just as casting a normally prepared spell would be. Using a scroll is like casting a spell for purposes of arcane spell failure chance. There. Just what you need to know.

Using a scroll is like casting a spell for purposes of arcane spell failure chance. Arcane Spell Failure Armor interferes with the gestures that a spellcaster must make to cast an arcane spell that has a somatic component. Using a scroll does not absolve you from the somatic component. Only the material and/or focus. Merestil beat me to it. That's what I get for opening multiple threads in Firefox and then moving through them one at a time without refreshing!
