Scarcely; Today are the adverbs. Adverbs are used to express time, circumstance, manner, etc.

The answer to your question would be that the words in the sentence that are adverbs are the following ones: Scarcely and today.

An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or another adverb, expressing a relationship of time, place, manner, cause, etc. In this case, scarcely is an adverb that means "almost not" and today means "on or in the course of this present day".
