Stanly County 4-H

The Nature Navigators 4-H Club has announced they will be on summer break through the month of August and will begin meeting again in September. Please mark your calendars and stay tuned to the club page for updates!

📢 Attention Nature Navigators Families! 📢

We’re hitting the pause button just a little longer! ⏸️🍂

To give our members extra time for those last-minute summer trips and plenty of room to conquer the back-to-school rush, Nature Navigators will be extending our break into September.

🍁 What’s next? We'll be dropping details soon about our upcoming fall schedule and meetings. Keep a lookout right here on our page!

Wishing all of our youth a fantastic start to the school year! See you soon! 🎒🍀

🐔 What even is it??
The EGG-cellent Egg Contest is a state wide competition open to 4-H youth who have their own laying hens. Over the course of the summer, they will attend 2 ZOOMs, learn what the judges are looking for, fill out some papers and project info and then select their winning eggs! The eggs will be judged in Raleigh in September and then winners will be announced!
