As a Christian woman I could no longer support the Girl Scouts. It is not the organization that I or my mother enjoyed. It is so far off its original course that it barely resembles the program that Juliette Lowe founded. Girls of today still need a scouting group that teaches character development with a definite moral compass. The American Heritage Girls provides that opportunity to our nation's daughters.
So says Patti Garibay of AHG. In 1995 after several parents in Ohio became disappointed with the increasing secularism of local scout groups they decided to start their own. American Heritage Girls exists to build “women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country.” Today AHG has scout troops in 36 states around the country.
The AHG Oath:
"I promise to love God,
Cherish my family,
Honor my country,
and Serve in my community."
