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.

Why is the cubital region distal to the carpal region?
The cubital region, which refers to the area around the elbow, is actually proximal to the carpal region, which encompasses the wrist. In anatomical terms, "distal" means farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body, while "proximal" means closer to it. Therefore, the cubital region is closer to the shoulder than the carpal region, making it proximal, not distal.
