Classification of natural species is pretty confusing and sometimes arbitrary. The rules originally used have in some cases been shown to overlap and refute themselves. Also, the term pond scum, can be ambiguous. Sometimes cyanobacteria are called pond scum. They belong to the Kingdom Monera. Other times you may have different types of algae called pond scum, those are indeed classified as protists.
So I would say that some kinds of pond scum are protists, and some are bacteria.
