Our
EMPHASES
Life Skill Enhancement
AHG helps girls acquire skills that will assist them in all areas of life. These skills may include how to use a computer, sew on a button, protect themselves, learn about their ancestors or what it takes to be an astronaut.
Social Development
Many girls say that being with other girls in Troop meetings, field trips, camp-outs and special events is their favorite part of being an American Heritage Girl.
Leadership
As a girl ages through the program, her leadership opportunities and responsibilities increase accordingly. These lessons carry through to all areas of a girl’s life: in her home, as a citizen of our country, as a member of her church, and even as a student in school!
Teamwork
Working as a team is important within a Troop, especially when the girls venture outdoors! Challenges can quickly become victories when teamwork is used to problem-solve. Victories help build confidence. AHG helps girls grow in confidence by learning self-reliance.
Spiritual Development
AHG exists to help girls learn more about God, about how to walk in faith, and the need to seek God’s will in our lives.
Character Development
A girl’s character is made up of the values she uses to make decisions. Helping a girl learn to listen to the Holy Spirit inside of her to determine what is right and wrong, and ultimately gain the ability to make sound, moral decisions, is what American Heritage Girls is all about! A girl can develop character values through her family, church, relationship with God, and life experiences.
