My advice is to first start EDITING some existing scenario that you like to play. Start small. Add a unit here, subtract a unit there. Then play it. What happened? Was it balanced? Was what happened, expected to happen? This is often called sandboxing.
The idea is that you see how someone else did it. Do you want it to be historical? Do you want it to be theoretical? Do you want it to be balanced and fun? Do you want it to be playable from either side?
After you do this, you can look at how the original designer managed to create special things to make his scenario the best that it can be.
These tips should help you to get started.
One last thing, and I believe that it is the most important tip. START SMALL. Too many people envision a grand scenario with lots of units. These are difficult to do for a number of reasons. Start with just ships, and then add a few helos or planes. Perhaps later you can add a sub. Play around with things, but keep it small. Before long, an actual idea will come to you, and you will find yourself creating your own scenario.
Have fun, that's always the most important thing.
