The scapula is the shoulder blade. The patella is the "knee cap". To be distal means to be further away from the point of attachment of an arm or leg to the body. Since these are not even on the the same limb, this question makes no sense. The scapula is not even on a limb.

Are eyes and mouth proximal or distal?
No. On the axial body (head, neck, chest and abdominal area), the features are either superior or inferior to each other. In this case the forehead is 'above' the mouth making it superior to the mouth. Proximal and distal refer to how close some thing is to the attachment of a limb. You will compare how close some thing is to that attachment compared to another. For example, your fingers are distal to your elbow. Your elbow is proximal to your fingers.
