American Heritage Girls was founded in 1995 as a Christ-centered character and leadership-based program for girls ages 5- 18. It focuses on the importance of faith and service while providing a fun environment for girls to learn new skills and make friends. Troop WA 1911, located in Auburn, has been active in the community for three years and volunteers in outreach programs to make a difference. Past events have included visiting retirement centers, fundraising for and laying wreaths at soldiers gravestones in partnership with Wreaths Across America, volunteering with Operation Christmas Child, and walking in the Veteran’s Day Parade in Auburn, WA. As a troop, WA 1911 organizes many outdoor activities to learn about different skills.
