American Heritage Girls Achievement Badges
(For uniform placement of all badges, patches, awards and pins, see pages 24-27 in the AHG Handbook)
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 Acheivement Badges. The badge program allows the younger girls to learn from older girls, and also gives the older girls a chance to teach the younger girls!
The American Heritage Girls Achievement Badge Program is divided into six “Frontiers.” Each of these frontiers are offered during the year, providing a well-rounded program. There are 80 different Achievement Badges; each of which can be earned at three different levels (Tenderheart, Explorer, and Pioneer/Patriot). Some badges will be worked on together as a troop, but girls can also earn badges by working on them outside of troop time.
The six frontiers include:
- Our Heritage
- Personal Well-Being
- Family Living
- The Arts
- Science & Technology
- Outdoor Skills
