What is the Fast Trackers 4-H Club?

The Fast Trackers is a club based out of Ellington (Stephensville area-(Hortonville address)). We are currently one of the largest clubs with 30-40 families. Our membership is 60-80 youth with 10 or more leaders. Our club offers many great opportunities to our youth including volunteer work, projects, trips, educational camps, and leadership positions. We have a very active club and are proud of that.
