Can you tell which side the scratch is on?
If you have a spare roll of unused film you could try a step-by-step scratch test. You are looking for scratches on the undeveloped film by looking along the surface of the film with light reflecting off it (end of film held to your eye, film held out towards light). Do the actions one stage at a time - wind it on one frame at a time onto the take-up spool. Carefully remove it. Check for the scratch. Put it back onto the take-up spool. Rewind. Remove from cassette through the end. Check again. This is a version of the standard scratch test used with movie cameras.
Good luck,
Helen
