American Heritage Girls is a Christ-centered character and leadership development program for girls 5 to 18 years of age.
AHG is dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country.
AHG girls across the nation and the globe participate in badge programs, service projects, leadership opportunities, and outdoor experiences, all with an emphasis on Christian values and family involvement.

Registration is $40 per girl all girls must be registered, plus any adults participating in meetings or outings must be registered, beyond the first two meetings.
Our troop also collects $100 in annual dues to aid in supply purchases, special activities, troop-earned badges and patches, etc.  FUNDRAISERS are used to help offset these dues.

Girls are allowed, per AHG, to visit two meetings before becoming official members of AHG.
To register, send email to Ashley, Troop Coordinator at StemmlerCC@gmail.com
or to Becky Silkworth, Vice-coordinator at
bbsilk@yahoo.com.
Please provide your name, daughter's name and age, email address and phone number. You will be sent an invite to your email where you can complete the registration process.
