I loaded the ob-scheme.el directly (which should be the same as loading
it with org-babel-do-load-languages as above) and the following works
for me.

#+begin_src scheme
  (+ 1 1 1)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 3

I have guile installed and I have the `scheme-program-name' variable set
to "guile elsewhere in my .emacs init.  I imagine setting the above
variable should enable scheme evaluation.

Best,

while looking into this I did notice that when launching Geiser (a nice
slime-like scheme evaluator) I would sometimes crash my entire Emacs
process by pressing C-g when Geiser prompts for a scheme executable.  I
imagine this is unrelated to your problem, but was certainly surprising.
