In a way, the difference is like that between a sorcerer and a wizard.There are many ways in which a wand and a scroll differ: requirements for usage (using a scroll of too high a level is an invitation to disaster), spell trigger vs. spell completion, flexibility (a wand has only one spell, whereas a scroll can have different ones), creation requirements (you need to be 5th level to create a wand, but only 1st to create a scroll), spell limitations (max 4th level in a wand, no limit on a scroll), and so on and so forth.
