Um Girl Guides/Girl Scouts started because some girls decided they wanted in on all the fun the boys were having. Scouting is SUPPOSED to be all about learning a variety of skills and being a well-rounded person.
The best way to get the Pathfinders I worked with back home to take on a challenging task was to casually mention that the Scouts or Venturers did whatever it is the week before. Not wanting to be shown up by a bunch of stupid boys who needed lighter fluid to light a fire, they would suddenly be eager to do things like rock climbing, fundraising for a road trip through the Canadian Rockies, building and sleeping in shelters in the middle of February (-20 C, and everyone was warm and cozy in their shelters), cooking creatively over a campfire, sitting in on a town council meeting, etc.
@Ciel: Scouts Canada is generally disorganized and unorthodox. Then again, Guiding frequently ends up being about making crappy crafts and extending your home ec skills. As I said, it all depends on who the leaders are.
I have to say I strongly disagree with the new directions Guiding has been taking over the past 15-20 years ago. It used to be about traditions and values, about building a broad skill base and striving to make the world a better place, about building leadership skills and self respect. Now it's all about self esteem and arts and crafts and a bunch of junk that really doesn't matter. I feel so strongly about this that I allowed my membership to lapse about 6 or 7 years ago.
