Scaglione started playing handball at her local club Ry Håndbold, followed by Skanderborg Håndbold and Ikast Håndbold.[3] She made her senior debut on 21 February 2021 in an EHF Cup match against Paris 92.[4][5] In the Danish League she did however have to wait for her debut match, as she had not even reached the minimum age. She made her league debut on 1 September 2021.[4][6]
With Ikast she won the 2023 European League.
In January 2024 she suffered an knee cruciate ligament injury in a match against Skanderborg Håndbold, which kept her out for the rest of the 2023/24 season.[7][8] Despite her injury, she extended her contract at Ikast in October 2024 until 2027.[9] 15 months after her injury she made a comeback in the European League semifinal match against HSG Blomberg-Lippe.[10] She was the top scorer in that match with 5 goals.[11]

At the 2025 World Women's Handball Championship Denmark went out in the quarterfinal to France after winning all matches in the group stages. The Danish team was affected by a lot of players missing the tournament including goalkeepers Sandra Toft and Althea Reinhardt and pivots Sarah Iversen and Rikke Iversen. This was the first time since 2019 that Denmark left a major international tournament without any medals.[19] Scaglione acted mainly as a back-up during the tournament.
