Diamond Clover Award – Intent Forms DUE November 26
Delaware 4-H members are eligible to participate in the Diamond Clover Award program. Delaware 4-Hadopted the Diamond Clover Award in 2011 from a program used in Maryland and Nebraska. 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. 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 journey that will benefit you forever. And a Diamond Clover Award will look pretty good on your college application too!

Find out more, visit the Diamond Clover site on the State 4-H webpage

If you plan to participate in this award program for the 2014-15 4-H year, Level Intent Forms must be submitted by November 26.

REMINDER – All Enrollment Forms due to the 4-H Office by Monday, December 8
