Visit www.ahgonline.org to either donate or check us out. I am a Pioneer Leader of soon to be 8 girls and a Coordinator of a Catholic troop of 35 in Ohio. We camp at the Camp Friedlander Boy Scout Reservation each summer and also at Cub World in Loveland, Ohio. We also offer badges in many different areas such as Science and Technology, Family Living, Outdoor Skills, Personal Care and Well Being, Heritage and within in these there are many badges to do. I just finished Emergency Preparedness with required CPR, Self Defense and First Aid along with some other skills. We have a division for girls who are 7th grade and up that has a life of it's own going camping, skiing, white water rafting, ice skating, zip lining with many other adventures. Troops are composed of girls from K-12 with the older girls taking leadership positions, service positions (camp aides). We are structured similar to the Boy Scouts troops, yet have a wider age range - although we divide in groups to support higher or lower level badge work to meet age criteria. Like Boy Scouts, you may be of any faith to be an American Heritage Girl and your troop may be Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, etc., and they are chartered similar to Boy Scouts by churches and schools. There is no Planned Parenthood, but a Pro- Life Christ centered organization which supports prayer and reverence, complete with Religious Emblems badges that are encouraged. My husband is an Eagle and my co- coordinator, my son is a Boy Scout. We have many dads getting ready to teach the outdoor skills such as hatchet, saw, knife safety, orienteering, and much more. It is a great complimentary program to a current Boy Scout troop for girl siblings. We do Scouting for Food together and also give out service stars for service hours. Girls have the ultimate goal of the Stars and Stripes award, which is the "Eagle" mirror. Check us out! You will be glad you did! www.ahgonline.org! Hello,
