Boy Scouts and American Heritage Girls Form Alliance

By Terrence McKeegan, J.D. | June 3, 2010

As a follow-up to our reporting on the problems facing the Girl Scouts, including their extensive ties with Planned Parenthood, a reader has offered the following helpful information.

The American Heritage Girls, who we have previously recommended as a Christian alternative to the Girl Scouts, signed a memorandum of mutual support with the Boy Scouts last year.

According to the Scouting News website,

This Memorandum is historic in nature as it is the first presented to an all girls’ organization in the one hundred year history of the Boy Scouts of America. The Memorandum was presented to AHG National Executive Director, Patti Garibay by BSA’s Director of the Community Alliances Team, Charles Holmes, of the Boy Scouts of America, Irving, Texas. American Heritage Girls’ volunteers from across the country participated in trainings and workshops during the weekend as well as witnessed this historic event.
