Vision
Statement
American
Heritage Girls is the premier
organization for young women
that provides a program wich
embraces time honored moral
standards while encouraging
each member to grow in their
faith in God, personal integrity,
citizenship and community
service. |
American
Heritage Girls was founded in 1995
in West Chester, Ohio by a group
of parents wanting a wholesome scouting
program for their daughters. These
parents were disillusioned with the
increasing secular focus of existing
scouting organizations for girls.
They wanted a Judeo-Christian focused
organization for their daughters
and believed that other parents were
looking for the same for their daughters.
This became the catalyst for the
birth of the organization we have
come to know as the American Heritage
Girls.
American
Heritage Girls began its first year
of programming in the fall of 1995
with about 10 troops and roughly 100
members. Most of the troops met in
the West Chester area and worked on
badges written by the founding parents.
Organizational events were started
that year which assisted the organization
in tying city-wide troops together.
American
Heritage Girls is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to the mission of building
women of integrity through service
to God, family, community and country.
The organization offers merit badge
programs, service projects, girl leadership
opportunities and outdoor experiences
to its members. This program of character
building has successfully served thousands
of girls since its inception and will
continue to do so long into the 21st
century.
The
founders of the American Heritage Girls
and the volunteers of today give all
credit for the success of AHG to God
for His constant hand upon the organization
and His unceasing blessings. |
