0I doubt very much that the intended meaning was 'crouch especially in hiding'. The usual meaning for 'scooch (over)' would be 'move a little bit (to one side or the other in order to make room for someone or something else)'.0-

0We say "scootch" pretty often. Scootch over to give your sister a place to sit down. Do you need me to scootch your chain in for you a bit? 02br

00 I'm not sure of the spelling either. Skootch? Skooch? Scootch? Scooch? Skootch seems best to me, but it's certainly informal.0-
