For many years, Girl Scout uniforms were either dresses or skirts and blouses.
In the early days of Girl Scouting, if the girls were going to do an activity which required them to wear pants, it could not be in public. In order to play Basketball, Juliette Gordon Low had curtains put up around the basketball court so that, when the Girl Scouts wanted to play basketball, they could pull the curtain shut. That way, the girls could wear their "bloomers" and play basketball without getting into trouble for wearing pants in public.
Bloomers: a divided garment women wore on the lower body. In the early 1900's, they had "athletic" bloomers, skirt-less baggy knee-length trousers, fastened to the leg a little below the knees and worn for athletic activities such as basketball.

I think daisy dukes are a no-no because you might just look lanky, just above the knee might make you look like you couldn't get longer trousers, but I think you could get shorts that are just ON your knee or a bit below, so when you sit down they move up to show your knee. Key to shorts - they make you look shorter!
