The BSA Venture Crews are great... and my daughter's been a part of one since she was 14. She'd been a GS for the first several years, but was fed up with the programming available to her. She wanted to spelunk and camp and rock climb just like her brothers, so age fourteen did not arrive nearly fast enough.
She's still in her Venture crew, along with a bunch of her friends that got sucked in with her, and I'd say the girls are a majority of that particular crew, and the ones that really run the thing. But because they're aligned to a regular BSA troop, they can attend those outings in addition to their own. Which explains Joshua Tree and her climbing.
This summer, though, is all about a two-week trip to Philmont Scout Camp in New Mexico and a 75-mile backpacking trip at elevation.
I would join the Geek Scouts, though. As long as the uniform is cool t-shirts and jeans.
