Scripture is a word generally used to indicate writings supposed ly from a deity. In Buddhism there is no deity and the Buddha is not a deity. SO from the start - there is no scripture.

The Buddha dd not rely on "scripture" to find the path to enlightenment. He used what science would call the empirical method - try something, if it doesn't work try something else until you succeed.

Many of the writings used by his followers are essentially meeting notes of sessions from the Buddha to his followers and learned discourse on areas of interest developed over the years. These are important as they show the intent and understanding of minds that have pondered the issus fo years
