American Heritage Girl




Abby was a two years old when Charlie joined the Boy Scouts. She has been to BS meetings and even camping trips to the Sand Dunes with Charlie's troop. One day, she asked me if she could be a boy scout. I told her when she was older, she could be a girl scout. Meanwhile, I kept hearing about this group called American Heritage Girls. A mother from our church was starting a troop. Her daughter also wanted to be a girl scout. When Anne, the mother looked into Girl Scouts, she realized that it had become very liberal. God was not a part of it like He is in the Boy Scouts. So, she researched and found the American Heritage Girls organization. It is a Christian based scouting program for girls. I went to the initial meeting and was hooked. I am an asst.troop leader for Abby's level which is Pathfinder. I will be taking a CPR class to become certified. I am looking forward to camping trips and bonding with these girls. We have a large troop already. Close to 80 girls. Abby loves this troop and looks forward to going twice a month. Here are some pics of her in her uniform. The Kindergarten girls wear a t-shirt. Next year she will have a regular uniform.
