Hi Robert.

This seems to work:

  set scansFolder to ((path to desktop as text) & "scans~ƒ") as alias

  tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set scansWindow to scansFolder's container window
    if (scansWindow exists) then
      close scansWindow
    else
      open scansWindow -- or open scansFolder
    end if
  end tell
