Hi,
signal between A and B can be phrased as: voltage of A with respect to B.

So if the scope is connected to A then there is the only chance to connect the scope_gnd to B.
Otherwise the scope can not know what "B" means.

If yor scope is not floating, then you A as well as B needs to be floating.
