This is a good tutorial:

http://www.cs.rice.edu/~dorai/t-y-scheme/t-y-scheme.html

This is a good overview:

This is an amzing site, if you're new to programming. While I agree with dman 
that Python might be more useful for 'real world' stuff, Scheme is an 
excellent way to directly approach computer science issues, and the two are 
usually taught concurrently.
