Diamond Clover Award – 2020-2021 Intent Forms DUE November 25, 2020 to tammys@udel.edu
Delaware 4-H members are eligible to participate in the Diamond Clover Award program. This award will be 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. The Diamond Clover Award consists of six levels, each steadily advancing in intensity and achievement over the last. It is intended to take a 4-H member six years to complete. The nice thing about this award is that many 4-H members are already doing the work, so all you need to do is fill out the forms and submit them. To find out more, visit the Diamond Clover site on the State 4-H webpage.

The club leaders will continue to monitor the situation and will update you on this as we proceed through the year.

Lower Delaware Archers – The club leaders are currently working on our facility agreement(s) and working out the logistics for the ability to meet.  They are working to get “Indoor” shooting and we have a couple of safety and logistical issues that we need to have addressed.  They are anxiously working to get everything together to allow for us to get back together as well as some exciting news about a National Opportunity with 4-H & USA Archery here in Delaware. More news will be coming very soon!
