a scrupulous person has "scruples", strong moral values they follow strictly.
a meticulous person is very careful, checking every detail one at a time.
A scrupulous clockmaker always pays their taxes to the cent and doesn't overcharge.
A meticulous clockmaker hand-cuts every cog and engraves them manually, one jewel at a time.

Very similar.
Both are
- Very attentive to detail
- Diligent
- Thorough
The main difference
Scrupulous is this way because of morals.
Tom is a meticulous person, he believes that the death penalty is wrong. Today, Tom had to arrange all the documentation for an execution. Despite his dislike of the law, Tom did the perfect job that is expected of him.
Dave is a scrupulous person. He believes the death penalty is wrong. Today, Dave was told to arrange all the documentation for an execution. Even though he is an amazing and meticulous person at work, Dave refused because he does not believe in the death penalty. Dave held to his scruples.

@mi35 sorry 'if' was a typo, I fixed it now.
Dave was to organize execution, not to be executed. so No, Dave is a good person 😁
