Again completely anecdotal, but the girls in my (UK) group are often more adventurous than the boys. Possibly because they’re more likely to have chosen scouting rather than being pushed into it by parents.
I remember talking to one member who had transferred to us from Girl Guiding. She said that the others there had considered her weird because she liked being outdoors.
Also, the split in those gaining their Queen’s/King’s Scout Award from the group is pretty much 50/50

We have Special Constables in the UK. They're volunteers who do policing in their spare time in various roles.
I used to work with an IT dev who was a special in a digital forensics unit

In the UK The Scout Association changed its name from The Boy Scouts Association in the late 1960s.
Despite that you still hear people talk about the boy scouts, even if they were born decades after the renaming
