American Heritage Girls
Mission: Building women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country.
Oath: “I promise to love God, cherish my family, honor my country, and serve in my community.”
American Heritage Girls (AHG) began 25 years ago with one troop in Ohio started by Patti Garibay. The goal was to provide a faith-based character building & adventure program for girls. AHG welcomes girls from 5-18yo.
