Biscuits and scones are very similar, but as far as North American recipes for them go, scones tend to be sweeter and have a greater variety of extra contents (e.g. fruit). In my experience, scones also tend to be larger, comprising an entire snack on their own instead of being a side dish for something else, but that's something that can easily be changed if you want a bigger biscuit/smaller scone. There's room to say that scones tend more toward being desserts, while biscuits are more savory, but there are plenty of recipes out there for savory scones (cheddar & chive, for example) that buck that trend.
