I assume that I know how this works, but it doesn't explicitly say it in the rulebook under adding spells to a spellbook.

Can you add a spell to your spellbook that is above the level you can cast? You encounter a scroll that is above your level, can you add it to your spellbook so that it is there when you hit the required level?

I am particularly interested due to Society rules. If I encounter a scroll during the scenario, I can use it for "free" during the scenario to add it to my spellbook if the rule allows. Otherwise, I will have to buy the scroll later in order to scribe it.

Yes. You just have to make the required Spellcheck (DC 15 + spell level).

You are correct regarding PFS rules. You can add it to your spellbook by making the required Spellcraft check and paying the scribing cost. If you do this immediately after the scenario, then you don't have to buy the scroll.
