Welcome to the home page for American Heritage Girls Troop 3130. 

American Heritage Girls is an organization dedicated to the mission of assisting girls in learning about themselves, their community and their country.  We offer a wholesome program of activities supervised by trained adults, supported by families and implemented by members of the organization.  Our goal is to build women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country.

The American Heritage Girls was founded in August of 1995 in West Chester, Ohio.  It was founded with the love of God, with the love of families, for the love of children.
