AHG helps girls acquire skills that will assist them in all areas of life. These skills may include how to use a computer, sew on a button, protect themselves, learn about their ancestors or what it takes to be an astronaut. Girls will learn many skills as they earn AHG Achievement Badges. The badge program allows them to learn from older girls, and also gives them the chance to teach younger girls!
The American Heritage Girls Achievement Badge Program is divided into six "Frontiers". These frontiers, when offered together during the year, offer a well-rounded program. Each badge can be earned at three different levels (Tenderheart, Explorer, and Pioneer/Patriot).
The six Frontiers of the American Heritage Girl program include:
Troop Policy on Earning Badges
The Troop will offer a number of opportunities to earn badges during the year (usually 3). However, girls are encouraged to earn badges on their own or with other girls, as well. Badges that are earned with the Troop will be paid for by the Troop (up to 3). Badges earned outside of the Troop will be paid for by the family.
** More information on earning badges and tracking sheets can be found in the Girl Handbook on pp. 72-83 **
