Battle of the Clover - NEW - Brazoria County 4-H

Battle of the Clovers

Gives 4-H members the opportunity to earn points for their 4-H Club to see who can be the ultimate 4-H Club for the year. Opportunities include attendance at county meetings, representing your club at district and state events, fundraising, and much more! Each year the Battle of the Clover list and points will be evaluated and decided on by the 4-H Agent and updated for the new year. Points will be maintained by the 4-H Office and will be posted to the Google Sheet on the 4-H Website.

Deadline: Battle of the clover points begin the day after the 2023 Awards Program, and ends July 20th, 2024. Points earned between July 20th and the 2024 Awards Program will be added to 2024-2025 year points.

For club and project meeting reports please email them to cassidy.smolik@ag.tamu.edu until 4-H Online allows reports to be turned in online.
