American Heritage Girls

This January our family joined a brand new local American Heritage Girls Troop. We had our first meeting at the end of January.....

 

 

American Heritage Girls (AHG) is the Christian alternative to the Girl Scouts, which is a secular organization. For this particular meeting the girls were making Valentines to send to the troops and getting to know one another.

 

The AHG Oath
"I promise to love God,
Cherish my family,
Honor my country,
and serve in my community."

The AHG Creed As an American Heritage Girl, I promise to be: Compassionate Helpful Honest Loyal Persevering Pure Resourceful Respectful Responsible Reverent

The AHG Statement of Faith  American Heritage Girls is a Christ centered scouting organization. The following Statement of Faith applies to all American Heritage Girls' Charter Organizations, Adult Members and Adult Volunteers."We believe that there is One Triune God - Father, Jesus Christ His one and only Son, and the Holy Spirit - Creator of the universe and eternally existent. We believe the Holy Scriptures (Old/New Testament) to be the only inspired and authoritative word of God. We believe each person is created in His image for the purpose of communing with and worshipping God. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit who enables us to live a Godly life. We believe that each individual is called to love the Lord their God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength; and to love their neighbors as themselves. We believe that each individual is called to live a life of purity, service, stewardship and integrity". Clarity is further provided to the following terms: Purity - An AHG member is called to live a life of holiness, being pure of heart, mind, word and deed, reserving sexual activity for the sanctity of marriage; marriage being a lifelong commitment before God between a man and a woman. Service - An AHG member is called to become a responsible member of their community and the world through selfless acts, which contribute to the welfare of others. Stewardship - An AHG member is called to use their God given time, talents and money wisely. Integrity - An AHG member is called to live a moral life, demonstrating the inward motivation to do what is right, regardless of the cost.
