This rule is designed to encourage youth to actively participate in 4-H activities to gain more from the 4-H program! If a 4-H member does not meet this requirement, you will not be a member in good standing.

SECOND –The enrollment deadline is February 1, 2017 .4-H members must enroll by the new deadline in order to participate in County District of State Judging or County, District or State Shooting Sports.
