Look for a local chapter of American Heritage Girls.

I have the same answer that I gave when asked about alternatives to the Boy Scouts. The Civil Air Patrol is an outstanding adolescent leadership program. It’s not faith based, but neither is it hostile to religion.

American Heritage Girls! As another alternative, Awana is a great program for Bible memory and they earn patches or other things along the way.

What are the alternatives to the Girl Scouts?

The Boy Scouts. They have all female troops now, trying to offset the losses caused by boys fleeing the homosexual predators they now allow.

Our kids participated in 4H. It is coed, but it offers life skills, leadership opportunities for everyone, and it’s a whole lot of fun. Our section was urban, so it was not focused on raising large livestock although animals were a big deal. There were courses in everything from cooking to rocketry, and a weeklong summer camp, and parties, a fair, and leadership meetings where even the youngest were encouraged to participate. Each child learns to keep simple records of their year, with attendance and expense records, and reflection on whet they learned. It’s great training for being in the business world. Children enter their best projects in the fair and win ribbons. They are judged fairly, not just participation trophies for all. My kids are now 21 and 18. The older one did weaving in 4H but moved on to counted cross stitch as a hobby. The younger one did gardening and continues to do biology and food science work in college. Other friends developed leadership skills to the point where they were ready for debate in high school, and holding a 4H position at the national level in college. If there is 4H near you, try it out.
