This is known as chronic itch. Itching can be caused by the scar being inflamed. If it gets unbearable you should go see a doctor but if not don't worry this is normal.

Scars often itch as they heal! If they get to be too bad, I'd recommend covering them with a bandaid to keep yourself from scratching at them.

Mostly scars would itch as it heals up, but if it goes on for too long then you may want to see your doctor

It's normal for them to itch for years. A wound healing is a very long and complicating process.
The process can ultimately last for months or even years, depending on exactly where it is on the body, what type of tissue it is, and the kind of use that the tissue receives in terms of daily stretching and exposure to the environment. But in general, since sensation in and around the affected area comes from nerve endings (there are no nerve endings inside scar tissue ... but there are all around scars), itching comes from stimulation of those endings. In early healing, such stimulation can come from the processes of healing itself. But later, the mechanical stretching of scar tissue next to normal tissues can stimulate nerve endings and cause an itching sensation. This is assuming there is no inflammation around the healed tissue.
That's only a plain explaination out of many, but when your scars itch is something normal for your body.

They take a long time to heal. New skin tissue is always growing which can make it keep itching. It's normal unless it stays red, inflamed, or filled with pus, in which case it's likely you have an infection.

It depends on how fresh they are. If they are fairly recent it is natural for them to itch, especially if they are scars from scratching. There are different creams you can use that help out. If your scars are old and still itchy, they could be infected. It's important you clean a wound once it's open, because it's very easy for unwanted bacteria to get in.

That's just a natural part of healing; they can be years old and scar tissue still itches. It is normal, try something like calamine lotion on them to ease the itching.
