She attended Wanganui Collegiate school. She was involved in many extracurricular activities throughout her schooling, including rowing, which she picked up during her last years at Wanganui College. Scown was a bright student who her teachers encouraged to take part in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rowing Regatta.

Scown was part of the New Zealand Women’s Rowing Eight, and competed in the 2007 World Rowing Championships, Munich, Germany, one year later. Scown and her crew came in 9th place, yet again.

2009 provided the opportunity for her to secure a seat in the New Zealand Women’s Pair. Scown was named in the boat with fellow eight rower Emma Feathery and the pair competed at two World Rowing Cup events, winning both world cups and becoming World Rowing Cup leaders for their event in 2009. They went on to compete in the 2009 World Rowing Championships in Poznań, Poland and found themselves in one of the closest races of the regatta; there was only 1 second within the first three crews in the race and Scown and Feathery came in third, winning the bronze.

She won a silver medal at the 2015 World Rowing Championships with the women’s eight, qualifying the boat for the 2016 Olympics. She also competed in the coxless pair in Rio and with Genevieve Behrent won silver, beaten by the reigning Olympic champions Heather Stanning and Helen Glover of Great Britain.

Scown rowed with the women’s eight during 2017 and won a bronze medal at the 2017 World Rowing Championships in Sarasota, Florida. Scown will take the 2017/18 rowing season off, and will review her involvement in rowing during that time.
