Parents/guardians demonstrate commitment to the girls by encouraging them and supporting them throughout their years in AHG. Girls should arrive at meetings and events on time, in the appropriate uniform and with the necessary handbooks or supplies. Parents can obtain information at check-in for upcoming activities and should monitor e-mail communication regularly.

Providing a quality program for Girl Members requires a commitment from all families involved. Each family should actively participate in the Troop to ensure the success of the Troop as a whole. At times, some families may be asked to serve outside of regular meeting times, some may serve during Troop meetings, and others may experience a blend of both.  AHG is a family ministry, and as such, we expect at least one parent to be a registered adult member of AHG.  In addition, we expect each veteran family (those having completed one year in our Troop) to assist by filling a Troop Ministry Team position or serving as an event planner (often with your own daughter and/or other girls who are working toward their Level Award requirement of planning an event).  

There are many opportunities to help the Troop.  We typically send a Signup Genius over the summer to allow parents the opportunity to volunteer for positions.  Many hands make light work, and our Troop is not possible without all of you!  Some positions require a regular time commitment (e.g. Unit Leader), some are "one and done" (e.g. Event Coordinator), and some have a "busy season" followed by a less busy time (e.g. Fundraising).  Sometimes, we just need an extra set of hands for a more involved project with younger girls.  You can ask any member of the Board for help determining which position may be a good fit for you.  

Registering Girls and Adults

New families can register girls at any time during the year. You will receive an invitation via email from the Troop to register in AHGfamily. The parent intending to become a Registered Adult volunteer within the Troop will fill out their membership information and add their daughter(s) to their household.  We recommend adding everyone to your household prior to paying the registration fee.  

Volunteer Position Recruitment and Selection

AHG is a family-supported program that encourages both girl and adult involvement. Our Troop will benefit most when utilizing the gifts and strengths from all members. We recognize everyone has different gifts and talents. An AHG Troop Board Member would like to connect with you to learn more about your gifts and strengths, and how you might use them within the Troop to grow God’s Kingdom.
