Scolt is an old variant of "scalded" - i.e. burnt by fluids. A Google book search finds spottings in New England, 1793 and Essex, England.
The t/ed pattern is common enough: burnt/burned, spilt/spilled etc; and in some British English accents, it can be hard sometimes to hear the difference between scald (burn with fluids) and scold (harshly reprimand)
