Building women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country. 

American Heritage Girls is the premier national character development organization for young women that embraces Christian values and encourages family involvement. AHG was founded by Patti Garibay and other parents in West Chester, Ohio who desired a faith-based program to guide their daughters as women of God and integrity. Since its start in 1995, AHG has grown to over 52,000 members across all 50 and and 15 countries.

Girls in AHG have opportunities to build friendships, earn badges from 6 Badge Frontiers, and learn life and leadership skills, all with an emphasis on Christian values and family involvement. They also participate in service projects, outdoor activities, and family events. AHG is led by parent volunteers helping girls to grow in their faith, cultivate a heart for service, enjoy the great outdoors, and have fun!

Our AHG Troop, IN2324 was established on Feb 7, 2003. We meet at Legacy Christian School in Noblesville, Indiana. Regular meetings are during the school year on Tuesdays from 6-7:45pm, typically on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tuesdays of the month. We occasionally have special events on the 4th Tuesday or on weekends. Opportunities for camping or other outdoor adventures occur on weekends throughout the year.

Contact us for more information or to schedule a visit to see if our Troop would be a good fit for your family!
