Cloverbud Projects

Bingham County has over 30 Cloverbud projects designed for children ages 5-7. Each project is $.50 plus the one-time enrollment fee of $4.00 per child, and $1.00 insurance. Cloverbud projects may be displayed at the Bingham County Fair and will receive participation ribbons.

4-H Leaders

Adult volunteers are the backbone of the 4-H program. They organize, teach and mentor youth. For liability insurance and program safety, adult volunteers must apply and be screened. They may lead only 1 child or 100. Leader materials are free of charge, but leaders must also pay $1.00 for insurance ($2.00 for horse leaders).
