Here we consider scale invariant dynamical systems within a classical particle description of Lagrangian mechanics. We begin by showing the condition under which a spatial and temporal scale transformation of such a system can lead to a symmetry by leaving the action unchanged. We then derive the form of all analytic Lagrangians that possess such a symmetry under change of scale. Finally, we write down the Noether charges of all analytic Lagrangians that are associated with a scale invariant action.
