American Heritage Girls, the Christian alternative to the woke Girl Scouts of the USA, is countering the push for the homosexual and transgender lifestyle during “Pride Month” by issuing “A Raising Godly Girls Guide to Gender and Identity.”
The organization said it is pushing back against efforts to “indoctrinate” young people into embracing beliefs and behaviors contrary to Christian values and natural law.
“For centuries, the beauty of God-given femininity has been under attack, its definition debated, its behavior contested,” Patti Garibay, AHG founder and executive director, said in a statement issued to Breitbart News. “Secular humanism has attempted to destroy the beautiful model of femininity and transform it into an equal model of masculinity. Today, it has gone one step further to claim an embrace of non-binary sexual identity.”
“With all this confusion in our society, it is no wonder that this debate has filtered down to our youngest members: our children. This is no coincidence. Satan is in for the long haul,” Garibay said.
“God-given femininity requires no debate,” she continued. “It is a gift that, when freely accepted, will bless a woman throughout her life whether she wears heels and loves shopping or whether she serves the hungry in her jeans and comfy t-shirt.”
“As Christians, we must engage in this discussion,” Garibay said. “Scripture is clear: There is a difference between male and female, and it is worth celebrating. Scripture defines the true nature of a woman: relational, nurturing, vulnerable, with a love for beauty and a desire to respond.”
Calling the guide “groundbreaking,” the press release said it “provides tools parents can use to understand society’s attitude towards gender and applies biblical truth highlighting the beauty in the differences between men and women.”

They picked the word Pride to try to convince themselves they don’t hate each other and themselves
Great saying I picked up from a FReeper:
“There is nothing feminine about feminism.”
So true.
I’m a feminist.
I do not resemble your remark.
We need to quit using that kind of language. Our organizations aren't an "alternative to" some leftist garbage. They are what they are. No need to even mention the corrupt leftist organization. We should discuss them and advertise them as if the corrupt leftist organization doesn't even exist.
MercyFlush is a neocon warmonger of the worst sort but he is right about feminism being a poison.
American Heritage Girls sounds like a good outfit. Do you know of anyone with personal experience with AHG? I read they have over 52,000 members but I haven’t ever seen one or heard about a chapter.
Trail Life USA is the Christian outdoor adventure organization for boys.
We work closely with AHG. I know Patti casually.
As far as the “alternative” term, you’re right. We never describe ourselves as an alternative to BSA, however, news reporters always do.
I’m an old school feminist: Equality of opportunity.
There’s nothing poisonous about that.
This sounds like a really nice organization. But unfortunately, today’s “progressives” will accept no viewpoints except their own. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the American Heritage Girls get harassed by the IRS, by frivolous lawsuits, etc.
Just open a box of cookies I got from somewhere. Girl Scout cookies.
I was just looking at the box 2 hours ago.
I can see where Leftists took over.
What a shame.
Both my girls were in AHG. My oldest stuck with it and loved it. She’s now an Aeronautical Engineer student. My younger one chose dance over AHG and is now a U.S. Marine.
They never cease to amaze me.
Check Americanheritagegirls.org for a troop near you. Or start one.
For boys, check Traillifeusa.com
For the record, we work closely but are separate organizations.
Excellent.
I’d have to meet you to see for myself. No offense.
Here’s my guide: Man Woman = Genders
Gay Lesbian = Sexual Preference choice
All the rest? Mentally Ill!
Granddaughters were in AHG in both Northern VA and Melbourne FL. Great experience for them.
Thank you for the info. My closest AHG chapter is hosted by a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church in Columbus, Georgia about 18 minutes away. There are two other church-hosted chapters in Auburn, Alabama about 40 minutes away.
