Yes absolutely.
Guile can be used independently as a Scheme interpreter as well as
an extension library.
Just type "guile" at the prompt, you will get the read-eval-print
loop.

To make scripts executable, add this like to the beginning of the
script and do chmod +x
----->
#!/usr/bin/guile \
-s
!#
<-----

Unlike other scripting languages, guile lets your have command-line
arguments spawn across multiple lines, thats  why you have #! and !#
interface.

hello.scm:
----->
#!/usr/bin/guile \
-s
!#
(display "Hello GNU")
(newline)
<-----

Hope this helps
