The correct conjunction to follow "Scarcely" is "when" or "before," not "then." "Scarcely" and "when" are paired to show a close sequence of events. Using "then" is grammatically incorrect in this context. So, the corrected sentence should be- "Scarcely had the meeting begun when one of the participants interrupted with an irrelevant point."
