Being a 4-H team is very similar to the Explorers. We are covered for libibility under the county 4-H and all our voluteers are fingerprinted and background checks also through 4-H. We have 501 C 3 status as well, through 4-H. We pay 1.00 per person per year for extra medical insurance for everyone in the club. We dont pay any kind of dues to the county but the team has a set yearly dues. We are also elibible for 4-H scholarships as well as FIRST ones. We have our own checking account so we don't have to wait for monies to clear the county account.

I really love being a 4-H club. We enjoy all the perks and none of the hassle. We can promote 4-H and FIRST together because their goals are so similar. We particpate in both programs........its fun to see the robots in the 4-H building at the fair with all the agriculture things!
