We are AHG Troop OH 0489
AHG Troop 0489 represents Philippians 04:8-9 which says, “Finally, dear brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.“
About AHG
American Heritage Girls (AHG) was founded by a group of parents wanting a faith-based, scout-type character development program for their daughters in 1995. The AHG Program 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.
Today there are Troops in every state and in 15 countries around the world through the Trailblazer Program. A variety of Christian denominations are also represented as Charter Organizations for Troops. There are thousands of volunteer members across the country helping girls to grow in their faith, cultivate a heart for service, enjoy the great outdoors, and have more fun than they can imagine!

Our Troop in Amherst, OH
Our AHG troop started in Vermillion, Ohio years ago and recently rechartered just down the road in Amherst. We meet on Thursday evenings at Faith Baptist Church (right off of Route 2). We are chartered with Restoration Church and work together with several churches in the region. Since we have girls coming from several locations, our new location at Faith Baptist makes it easy for anyone to get to us.

Serving the Community
Service is an important value to us at AHG, so our girls regularly serve the community in a variety of ways. We teach our girls to serve others as Christ would have us serve.
