Scramble on page 16 says it’s a special movement the defender can make at the end of this phase. It must be done after all of the attacker’s combat movements have been completed and all attacks have been declared.
The scramble rule on page 16 is at the end of Phase 2 Combat movement in the rulebook

I am curious about your explanation that it is “how I am reading the rules”. Where does the question come from, if you don’t mind?
