Girl Guides/Girl Scouts were started in 1910 by Lord Robert Baden-Powell (who also started Boy Scouts) and his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell.
Girls ages 14 to 20 were allowed to join special interest BSA Explorer Posts starting in 1969.
Girls can join what BSA calls Venturing at the age of 14 and having completed the 8th grade. See the Related Link below.
The Boy Scouts of America Venturing Program began allowing female membership in 1969.
Around the world, the trend has been toward co-educational scouting programs since 1970. In the United Kingdom, the Scout Association has been co-educational at all levels since 1991.
As soon as Scout troops began to be organized for boys in 1907, troops were also being organized for girls.
Officially, Girl Guiding was founded in 1910 in England by Robert Baden-Powell and his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell.

I can't find any statistics on that. A quick Google search suggests that it is news when it happens and that about 2-6 scout leaders or former scout leaders are charged with child porn every year. When you consider how many scout leaders there are this is not a high number. Nation-wide, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which handles most federal child exploitation cases, has made 12,000 such arrests since the agency was formed in 2003 to 2009 (2000 per year and increasing). The scouts have programs in place to protect minors. Scouts are never to be alone and out of sight with an adult leader and adult leaders are never allowed to share a tent with scouts other than their own children. The book in every year of Cub Scouting includes a section on youth protection that every parent is required to read and review with their scouts.
The adult leader of a Cub Scout pack would be a Cub Master, who would be assisted by Assistant Cub Masters.
Girl Scout co-leaders can do as much or as little is needed. Co-leaders participate in all activities the troop does, as well as help the girls with things. Co-leaders act like teacher-aides; helping kids with crafts, helping with cleaning, and do anything the leader may ask you to do, (like putting the snack on plates, or getting the supplies.)
