A 4-H Discovery Project for 6 - 8 year olds

"A 4-H Discovery Project for 6 - 8 year olds!"

Who can be a 4-H Cloverbud?

BC 4-H Cloverbud members are boys and girls aged 6 - 8 years old. They must have reached their 6th birthday and have not reached their 9th birthday by January 1st. BC 4-H Cloverbud age members are only allowed to be registered in the Cloverbud project and are not eligible to be enrolled in any other BC 4-H projects. The Cloverbud units are very busy with fun filled activities that explore future projects of 4-H. Cloverbuds can choose to enroll in one of the three BC Cloverbud units.

How can you add Cloverbud to your club or district?

Cloverbuds can be enrolled in any club that is offering to run a Cloverbud unit. Each unit has a corresponding leaders guide that is easy to plan your Cloverbud unit work. The following are some suggestions to get Cloverbuds into your club or district:

• Have a Cloverbud Project Leader for your club.
• Junior Leader Project for Senior 4-H Member (strongly suggested that Cloverbud unit runs a separate time from your other club activities)
• A Cloverbud club could be a separate enrolled 4-H club and could act as a "feeder club" for your district as the Cloverbuds move to Junior 4-H members. All Cloverbud members are registered 4-H members and must complete the club registration process. Cloverbud members are assessed the current year's club registration fees.

Please Note:
Children who have not been properly registered in a recognized BC 4-H project are not 4-H members and are, therefore, not allowed to participate as 4-H members at district, regional or provincial events, are not eligible for 4-H badges, certificates, etc.; and ARE NOT covered by BC 4-H's insurance.
