In this sentence it means to trespass. but that isn't its normal meaning. To scoot means to slide across something like the floor on your butt. Babies scoot across the floor, before they learn to walk.

I'm an American and "scoot about" is British English, but I think it means "walk around" or "run around" and "willy nilly" means without permission more or less.
