AHG is a uniformed organization which creates a sense of belonging for both Girl and Adult Members. Girl and Adult Members will wear the AHG Official Class A Uniform to the majority of AHG activities. The AHG Official Class B Uniform is utilized for more casual activities (Classic Red for Pathfinders, Tenderhearts, and Explorers and Classic Blue for Pioneers and Patriots). You may purchase your uniform gear directly from the online AHGstore: https://store.americanheritagegirls.org/.
