Reader Steve Kleinreichert sends word of two national youth programs that are faith-based alternatives to scouting that will be forming local chapters in East Cobb.
There’s a Feb. 7 organizational meeting for American Heritage Girls and Trail Life USA on Feb. 7 at the Marietta Alliance Church (1787 E. Piedmont Road) starting at 7 p.m.
The program works in tandem but are separated by sex and are for youth between the ages of 5-18. The twin organizations, Kleinreichert tells us in a message, are “tasked with helping to raise Godly kids through adulthood.”
Trail Life USA began in 2013, after the Boy Scouts of America allowed gay youth to join.
American Heritage Girls was formed in 1995 and partnered with the Boy Scouts until membership in the latter was opened to girls. AHG eventually teamed up with Trail Life USA.
