August 15, 2017 started a new 4-H enrollment year on 4-H Connect! ALL 4-H families will be required to re-enroll for the 2017-2018 4-H year. All 4-H members and adults need to complete both a family and individual profile for membership and to be able to register for events.
If you are re-enrolling and already have an existing profile, do not create a new profile.
UPDATE your existing one with new email, physical addresses and phone numbers.
An annual participant fee is necessary for each 4-H member. This participant fee of $25, or $20 if enrolled from September 1st to December 31st, will ensure that the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service can continue to deliver the highest quality 4-H program possible.
Adults, if you plan on serving as a volunteer in any way please enroll
as a VOLUNTEER on 4-H Connect! Requirements to be a volunteer include: a background check every two years, pay a $10 fee every year, and complete trainings on 4-H Connect every two years.
The Calf Scramble consist of 4-H and FFA members competing with one another to catch and halter one of the calves that have been released into an open arena and to be one of the top finishers to cross the finish line. The successful scramblers receive a certificate
to aid in the purchase of a breeding animal to be raised and shown at that show the following year. Most shows require participants to be at least 14 years old and 100 lbs and to not be beyond your eleventh grade year in school. If you are interested in scrambling at one of the major shows, please contact the Extension Office.

The School Tours program gives young students and their teachers the opportunity to learn about
the past and present methods of agriculture. School Tours are offered to students in Kindergarten
through third grade attending public, private and home schools.
What you will be doing: High School aged students of the 4-H, FFA and FCCLA organizations
from South Texas are invited each year to serve as Tour Guides for this committee. Tour Guides
assist in educating the students about agriculture and its valued importance, while sharpening their
leadership and responsibility skills. Tours last 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
During the tour, students will visit a number of areas where they can view exhibits and demonstra-tions. Animal Adventures and the horse center are just a couple of the areas students will visit to learn more about agriculture through interactive hand-ons displays and view live farm animals that include: cattle, swine, sheep, goat, poultry and horses. The tour also visit the Family Fair area of the grounds. This area has additional exhibits, live entertainment and petting zoos.
We will carpool as a county to San Antonio the morning of each date.
