Join Troop IN0465

Our troop currently serves girls in Pathfinder through Patriot levels. Our troop meets twice a month on Monday afternoons in the Greenfield/McCordsville area and 1-2 Saturdays a month at various parks and locations. Our Pioneer and Patriot level meets 3 Mondays a month or as needed.

We are excited to be the first Catholic American Heritage Girls troop in the Indianapolis area. As a Catholic Troop, our faith formation, activities and events are formed in the Catholic Faith and planned around the Liturgical Calendar.  

You do not have to belong to a Catholic parish to join.  All are welcome!  We have a Protestant Faith Award Mentor to help our non-Catholic members earn their applicable AHG faith Awards. We are excited to be working side-by-side with our Protestent sisters to experience the beauty of AHG, forming a new generation of strong, faith-filled Christian women for the world ahead.   

If you are interested in registering your girl in AHG and/or would like to sign up as an adult volunteer, please email us at AHGtroopIN0465@gmail.com.

Volunteers

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of Gods Grace in its various forms"

AHG depends on a large network of volunteers who are passionate about helping to mentor and guide young girls into faith-filled, service-oriented, and capable and confident young women.  Volunteers may be moms, dads, or relatives of girls in the troop, while others simply have a heart for helping girls grow into women of integrity.  We are so thankful for our AHG volunteers, who bring an abundance of skills, spiritual gifts, energy and passion for the values that AHG promotes.  Our troop could not exist without you.
