The girls got to celebrate the badges they had earned this year in AHG Troop NYS 1202.

There are four levels of girls – Pathfinders, Tenderhearts, Explorers, and Pioneers/Patriots.  As Tab was the only Pathfinder, she was selected for the color guard.  Well, they then drew names in each level for a girl from each level to be flag bearer.  Believe-it-or-not, Marie’s name was selected as the Tenderheart.  I am not the leader… I promise!  Marie kept asking over and over, “Is this the day I get to participate?”  She was elated.

 

Tab had a number of keen moments.  She got to receive the “Joining Award,” as she is now old enough to be a Tenderheart and had done all the work she needed to be a true American Heritage Girl.

The girls earned badges – “Kid Care,” “Cake Decorating,” “Engineering,” “Our Flag,” “Fire Safety,” and “Sign Language.”

Tab also got to cross-over to the new group!

It was a family affair.  Marie and Tabitha were so proud.

Mom and Dad were, too.
