CLUBS-
Clubs are the starting point to your time in 4-H. Think of them as your “home base”. 4-H Clubs may focus on just one area of interest or explore all projects 4-H has to offer. Some clubs focus on a specific project (project area clubs), while others are centered around a geographical location (community clubs). When choosing a club, consider scheduling, interests, & location. Brazos County has nearly 20 community & project clubs.
It is important to note: you can join any club and participate in almost any project, even if that is not the club’s primary focus. For Shooting Sports, you MUST enroll in a club for that discipline. Disciplines offered in Brazos County include Archery (Archery Club) & Shotgun (Sportsman's Club).
