IMHO, the Girl Scouts have been doing a very good job of keeping up. In addition to the more traditional cooking, camping, sewing, etc. stuff, they have physics, computers (constantly outdated, but what can you do?), and other "modern" stuff. They also do a lot of intercultural activities.
One other thing I think GSUSA has over the BSA is their handling of faith. GSUSA is "non-denomenationally spiritual" while BSA is Christian.
