A word from Anya S. 

I joined AHG when I was in 1st grade and I've been with it and loved it ever since. American Heritage Girls taught me at a young age its mission to “Build women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country.” I remember packing gifts in shoeboxes to send to children around the world, dancing at the yearly Father-Daughter Ball with friends, and hiking on local park trails. Even when I meet different American Heritage Girl troops at multi-troop events such as Camporee and touring Virginia State Capitol, I still meet the same welcoming spirit of kinship that it encourages.

American Heritage Girls is not only a fun way to serve others and socialize, AHG also teaches its members important expertise for later in life. Budgeting, how to safely handle a fire, and lead a group in a project are just some of the many necessary experiences I've had from being a part of AHG. I believe the best way for girls to make new friendships, care for others, develop essential life skills, and flourish in their faith is by joining American Heritage Girls.
