Diamond Clover Award 2017-2018 Intent Forms DUE December 1
Delaware 4-H members are eligible to participate in the Diamond Clover Award program. Delaware 4-H adopted the Diamond Clover Award in 2011 from a program used in Maryland. This award will be one of the highest level of recognition that a Delaware 4-H member can achieve. It is similar to the Boy Scout Eagle Award or the Girl Scout Gold Award. This award consists of six levels that require a 4-Her to plan and accomplish a broad range of age-appropriate tasks, acquiring valuable life skills as they progress.
It is intended to take a 4-H member six years to complete. Many 4-H members are already doing the work, so all you need to do is fill out the forms and submit them. 4-H members are strongly encouraged to submit for this award at their appropriate level this year!
For other 4-H members, this award can provide you with a long-term challenge for your 4-H career. Either way, when you have finished the process you have completed an amazing accomplishment.
