gimp is moving away from the script ( .scm) API in the old versions of gimp
Python is being used for a lot of plugins and replacing scripts for a lot of things
though a scm can be made for automating a series of existing plugins
What are "gimp scripts?"
I was looking up tutorials for general mapmaking and gimp and I came upon this. Googling didn't help that much as I'm not that computer savvy. I'd just like a basic description and how I could utilize scripting to help me make maps! Thanks!

A script is a series of instructions of things to do which a tool can pick up, read, and then follow that set of instructions. Some tools like ImageMagick are entirely script based and have no user interface at all. Thats like a graphics language. Others are like Gimp and Blender where you can load up a script and run it for a complex sequence of events that you dont want to manually do again and again.
A good example of this is you unload your digital camera and you could run a script to copy and resize all the images to a small size and add a water mark to them so you can upload them to your fav social network.
Any examples on how I could use it?
look in the scripts folder, it is in the install location
under scripts
Code:scripts | ├── 3d-outline.scm ├── 3dTruchet.scm ├── add-bevel.scm ├── addborder.scm ├── alien-glow-arrow.scm ├── alien-glow-bar.scm ├── alien-glow-bullet.scm ├── alien-glow-button.scm ├── alien-glow-logo.scm ├── alien-neon-logo.scm ├── basic1-logo.scm ├── basic2-logo.scm ├── beveled-button.scm ├── beveled-pattern-arrow.scm ├── beveled-pattern-bullet.scm ├── beveled-pattern-button.scm ├── beveled-pattern-heading.scm ├── beveled-pattern-hrule.scm ├── blend-anim.scm ├── blended-logo.scm ├── bovinated-logo.scm ├── burn-in-anim.scm and so on....
and look at

-- filters -- alpha to logo
and
-- file - create -- pick one
