[11] Also that month, American Heritage Girls joined the Faith Based Boys Coalition.

A leadership meeting was held in Louisville, Kentucky on June 29, 2013, to discuss forming a new boys group.

[14] It was revealed in September that American Heritage Girls would be partnering with Trail Life USA, a boys' Scouting group[15] which was modeled on AHG.

Explorer uniforms are a white polo, closed toe shoes, a red neckerchief, a navy vest, and khaki slacks or a skirt.

Pioneers wear a white polo, a navy sash, closed toe shoes, and a khaki/navy/or black skirt or slacks.

In addition to badges, girls are encouraged to earn level awards, sports pins, service stars, and patches.

AHG awards patches for troop activities, such as mother/daughter event, clean up day, pen pal, summer fun, fundraising top seller, respect life, food drive, father/daughter events, and camping patches.

As a Patriot, they are given the chance to work toward earning the Stars and Stripes Award, the highest honor achievable in the program.
