Scourfield, who made her Genero Adran Premier debut this season and has impressed with her performances in central defensive midfield, turned 17 this week - so the call-up was a nice birthday present.
"I was utterly shocked," she said. "Finding out genuinely left me speechless. Since joining Aberystwyth Town, my confidence has increased and I have definitely developed and become a better player, so this is a dream come true."
She added: "I hope this will make my family and friends proud - they have done so much for me with transport and supporting me at my games, so I’m glad I can give this back to them!"
"Imi is a huge asset to the club," said manager Gavin Allen, who pointed out that Scourfield is the only member of the Under-19s squad who regularly plays her football in the Genero Adran Premier. "She is a very focused and determined young player who gives her absolute all at training and games and is extremely deserving of this opportunity - I have no doubt that she’ll succeed."
Scourfield has joined up with Nic Anderson's squad for their matches against Czechia, England and Greece - heading off after playing against Wrexham at Park Avenue on Sunday.

Daeth Scourfield, a chwaraeodd ei ymddangosiad cyntaf yn Uwch Gynghrair Adran Genero y tymor hwn ac sydd wedi gwneud argraff ar ei pherfformiadau yng nghanol cae amddiffynnol, yn 17 yr wythnos hon - felly roedd y galwad i fyny yn anrheg pen-blwydd braf.
"Cefais sioc llwyr," meddai. "Roedd cael gwybod yn wirioneddol wedi fy ngadael yn fud. Ers ymuno â thref Aberystwyth, mae fy hyder wedi cynyddu ac yn bendant rwyf wedi datblygu a dod yn chwaraewr gwell, felly gwireddu breuddwyd yw hon."
Ychwanegodd: "Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd hyn yn gwneud fy nheulu a ffrindiau yn falch - maent wedi gwneud cymaint i mi gyda thrafnidiaeth ac wedi fy nghefnogi yn fy gemau, felly rwy'n falch y gallaf roi hwn yn ôl iddyn nhw!"
“Mae Imi yn ased enfawr i’r clwb,” meddai’r rheolwr Gavin Allen, a dynnodd sylw at y ffaith mai Scourfield yw’r unig aelod o’r garfan dan-19 sy’n chwarae ei phêl-droed yn rheolaidd yn Uwch Gynghrair Adran Genero.  “Mae hi’n chwaraewr ifanc sy'n dangos bwriad ac yn phenderfynol iawn sy’n rhoi’r cyfan absoliwt iddi mewn ymarferion a gemau ac mae’n hynod haeddiannol o’r cyfle hwn – does gen i ddim amheuaeth y bydd hi’n llwyddo.”
Mae Scourfield wedi ymuno â charfan Nic Anderson ar gyfer eu gemau yn erbyn Tsiecia, Lloegr a Gwlad Groeg - gan anelu lawr ar ôl chwarae yn erbyn Wrecsam ar Goedlan y Parc ddydd Sul.
