Who can join?  All girls from ages 5 to 18

The American Heritage Girls program is divided into several levels based primarily on age. Girls participate in troop activities, and work toward earning various badges.

Unit levels:

• Pathfinder (kindergarten/5 years old)
• Tenderheart (1-3rd grade/6-8 years old)
• Explorer (4-6th grade/9-11 years old)
• Pioneer (7-8th grade/12-13 years old)
• Patriot (9-12th grade/14-18 years old)

Girls can proceed through various ranks. As a Patriot, they are given the chance to work toward earning the Stars and Stripes Award, the highest honor achievable in the program. (Equivalent to the Boy Scouts Eagle award)
