I would back up to the point where somebody decided that the 14 year old girl should be on a venture scout trip .
You may have a point Arnie, however it isn't about the girly things you mention it's the fact that Venture Scouting in Ireland is between the ages of 15-18. (In the UK it's 15-20)
Having said that though, the use of the term 'Venture Scout' may be incorrect reporting.

Four young people were swept into the sea during a heavy swell in the aftermath of Storm Desmond.
Two of the four managed to clamber back onto rocks.
The girl was unconscious and was being kept afloat by a 15-year-old boy when both were rescued by the Irish Coast Guard Waterford-based helicopter.

The Irish Coast Guard’s own review found the winch team had no option but to lift both teenagers simulatenously in an extremely challenging manoevre, due to the proximity of both to the rocks.
