4-H clubs are organized groups of boys and girls supported by adult volunteers. The 4-H club conducts meetings and activities throughout the year. In many instances with military programs, clubs are your long term special interest groups or continual programs such as school age arts, science & discovery or personal fitness. 

Often in the school age community there will only be one or two business meetings to decide what the youth want to name their club and what they want to do as a service project for the club. The club leadership can be rotated using a rotation chart or drawing their role. It is highly encouraged that you say the 4-H pledge at the beginning of 4-H activities even if you are not doing an entire meeting.

In open recreation the 4-H clubs, are represented as leadership clubs or special interest clubs groups that will meet at least six times. They may be projects like cooking, cake decorating, rocketry, theater, the arts, leadership etc. Often these are more formal with Bylaws, Elected Officers and Service Projects.
