Why Start an American Heritage Girls troop?
From the AHG National Website:
Why start an American Heritage Girls' Troop in your community?
The girls of today will be the mothers of tomorrow. The impact of women on the culture of society has been shown through the ages.
The age-old adage, “The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the nation,” characterizes this notion.
In the early nineteenth century, John Quincy Adams warned, “From all that I had read of history and government of human life and manners, I had drawn this conclusion, that the manners of women were the most infallible barometer to ascertain the degree of morality and virtue of a nation.”
Twenty first century pastor and author of the acclaimed “The Purpose Driven Life”, Rick Warren claims, “There is no more significant group of changers in the world than mothers.”
Today’s girls are in search of moral absolutes in a culture full of mixed messages. AHG’s vision is to become the premier scouting organization for young women that provides a program which embraces time honored moral standards while encouraging each member to grow in their faith in God, personal integrity, citizenship and community service.
The Foundational Principles of AHG include:
AHG Oath: I promise to love God, cherish my family, honor my country and serve in my community.
AHG Creed: As an American Heritage Girl, I promise to be:
Compassionate – Understanding others in fellowship, empathy, kindness, and caring. Respect others’ opinions and emotions.
Helpful – Willingly serve others.
Honest – Always tell the truth and keep my promise.
Loyal – True to God, family, friends, community and country.
Perseverant – Continue to strive toward a goal despite obstacles.
Pure – Keep my mind and body pure.
Resourceful – Wisely use my time, materials and talents.
Respectful – Honor my country, be obedient to those in authority and courteous to all.
Responsible – Accountable for my own actions. Reliable in all situations.
Reverent – Faithful and honoring to God. Respectful of the beliefs of others.
AHG allows girls to put “legs on their faith” thus becoming an outward sign of Christ’s love in their community.
