Agile is an iterative product-development / project management methodology in which teams work in brief, incremental “sprints,” and then regroup frequently to review the work and make changes. The agile methodology encourages frequent feedback and the ability to switch focus and priority quickly.

Scrum is a flavour of agile project management. It is a method of managing the design and build of a digital project in iterative increments i.e. those short bursts (the sprints).
