I can't quite fathom that a horde of horticultural hobbiests have no opinion on this; I might just google it and see where I get .....

Re: Juniper scale?
You referring to the little white spots?
What happens when you squash them?

Could it be sap?

They definitely look like scale and common during this time of year.
I spray mine with pest oil.
