It's a national organization somewhat (though not really) similar to the Boy Scouts except it's more focused agricultural/environmental type things at a county level. A lot of 4-H branches sponsor one or more FIRST teams and it can be a lot more viable for rural areas than trying to set one up in a school. For instance, my team is 4-H, and because of this we can draw from all over the entire county rather than just one or two schools. It also allows a lot more independence and flexibility than being hooked in with the public school system does.
