Scootaloo is likely not an orphan and simply hasn't had her family detailed because they're not important; Rarity abruptly had parents appear, if you recall, and Twilight recently got a brother out of nowhere.

Scootaloo is probably the reluctant heir to a rich family and hates the courtly life or some such.
