Why Choose AHG

Parents often ask why they should choose American Heritage Girls for their daughter. The following information is provided to help you understand why so many parents have made the decision to enroll their daughters in American Heritage Girls.

AHG was founded in 1995 in West Chester, Ohio, by a group of parents who desired a wholesome program for their daughters. They had become frustrated with the increasingly secular focus that other organizations had taken. Through the AHG program, girls are enriched physically, mentally and spiritually through a diverse range of badge activities, community service projects, camping, and more. AHG has grown to include hundreds of troops around the country and is now a premier national character development organization for young women that embraces Christian values and encourages family involvement. Very recently, American Heritage Girls has announced a mutual partnership with the Boy Scouts of America. Because the structure and program emphases of both the Boy Scouts and the American Heritage Girls are very similar, AHG and BSA will be able to work cooperatively on service projects, membership growth, and programming initiatives across the nation.

The AHG Mission Statement is: “Building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country”.
