Backdrops can't move but you can use a large sprite instead of a backdrop.

No if you want a scrolling background use several sprites. Each one may be the size of a normal backdrop. Imagine you had a strip of images joined up horizontally. Your game window is just a small section of that strip containing either one image or (part of) the left side of one image and (part of) the right side of the other. So for a horizontal scroll you need to manage the sprites so the correct sprite or sprites are showing. For scrolling vertically as well you need more images but the general idea is the same.
I suggest you start with the Wiki tutorials on scrolling - http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Scratch_Wiki:Table_of_Contents/Scripting_Tutorials
