In 1998, the Boy Scouts of America instituted a new branch of boy scouting. It's called "Venturing" and is targeting boys and girls ages of 14 through 20. Kids who are interested in high adventure, art, and sports are joining in record numbers. Some churches use Venturing as their youth group programs.
My daughter was a charter member of the first co-ed crew in our council. She was the first, in our council, to spend a week at boy scout camp, the first girl to hike a trek at Philmont Scout Reservation in New Mexico, from our council.
Did I mention she was the first girl volunteer sent to the National Jamboree, from our council as well?Do you know a girl who likes to rock climb? Hike for miles with a 45 lb pack on her back, shot rifles and pistols? I do! And I get to see her do it all the time! Not only am I her mother, but a crew advisor as well!

That's cool! I love it when girls go out and do things that are typically "boy" activities.
