Scurrah attended Hillcrest Academy in Ontario for his early education and later went to Queen's University in Kingston.
[1] He married Mabel Dynes in 1914, and for 65 years they resided at what became known as “The Scurrah House” at "19 King George Terrace" in Oak Bay, where he enjoyed gardening.
Scurrah was a proud Rotarian with a perfect attendance record for decades - he served as Rotary Club President, Northwest District Governor and International Director in Canada.
