Well, scones need fat as a bonding agent. All pastries do.
Fats in scones also contribute to the flakiness of the scone. The solid fat is cut into the flour so that when you bake the scones, the fat melts and creates layers inside the scone.

Can you use spread instead of butter to make scones?
The fat in scones is what makes them light and crumbly, as opposed to rock-like. You may be able to reduce the fat content slightly (if it's quite a high proportion of fat to flour, you should be able to reduce the fat by about 1/4 -1/3), but the scones will not have a pleasant texture if all of the fat is removed. If you just want to cut down the fat content, try using margarine. Margarine still results in scones with a reasonable texture, but since it contains more liquid than butter, you will probably need to reduce the amount of milk that you add when you form a dough. (Otherwise the dough is very sloppy).
