This is Tyler O'Neill, Managing Editor at the Daily Signal.

I am honored to be joined by Patty Garibay, who is the founder and executive director of

American Heritage Girls.

So glad to have you with me.

It's a pleasure to be with you, Tyler, thanks for having me.

So Patty, I just want to talk a little bit about why American Heritage Girls exists,

what it is.

A lot of people are very familiar with the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts, but they may

not know that there are more, shall we say, faithful options out there to the original

animating spirit of both of those scouting groups.

Well, I love the way you said that, Tyler, the emanating spirit.

Yes, we are a Christ-centered character development program that serves girls ages 5 to 18.

We come alongside the church who says, I want this program for youth.

I wanted for the girls in our community, in our church.

We want to have something that they're doing life together, that they have excellent

models and mentors in the adult volunteers.

And we also want them to be able to be prepared, the girls, for influencing the next generation.

And I think that's very important to today's culture.

And why, so it's interesting, I am an Eagle Scout myself, and I've been really disheartened

to see the way that the Boy Scouts have been going in this past decade.

But why did American Heritage Girls start back in 1995?

And I think there's a partnership with Trail Life USA.
