The first award a new American Heritage Girl earns is called the Joining Award.
To make this fun and educational, here is an optional lap-book designed to assist in completing the requirements of this award if you were not in attendance at the Troop Joining Award Meeting. Depending on your age, you may need some help from a troop leader or parent. Below is the link to the lap-book instructions, that includes an example and all the printables. It doesn't have to look exactly like the example - you are free to be creative!
Please note that you must memorize the Pledge of Allegiance as one of the requirements for the Joining Award but it is not on the lap-book. I've also included a link below to a Pledge of Allegiance printable that you can use if you would rather use that instead.
When this lap-book is complete, please review the Joining Award requirements (see link below) and have your parent initial that they have been completed. You can then present your lap-book to your Unit Leader as well as the troop if you wish. Your Unit Leader will then complete the final requirement with you and order your new badge!
