What activity for 11yo girl

We are struggling to find an activity my dd can do on a weekly basis. She has already had swimming lessons and now she has got an acceptable level she's not keen to continue. She tried brownies but doesn't like it.

She loves to be outdoors and likes PE at school. She wants to learn to skateboard but we can't find any classes nearby and she's mentioned trampolining but the classes don't fit with our work hours. She also likes drama but I can't find an affordable class and she's not into musical theatre. She likes running but I don't think she'd be fast enough for a club and not sure they take people who just want to do it for fun???

So far she's ruled out:
Football
Horse riding
Basketball
Martial arts
Any musical instrument

Can anyone help??

My daughter does Scouts, she absolutely loves it, there's a mixture of boys and girls, they do so many fun things. She only started recently, but she's been hiking, trampolining, fireworks display, learning knots, making stuff. She didn't like Brownies, it was boring.
