I switched from Girl Scouts to 4H when I was 13 and have never looked back. LOL. I learned to sew, garden, raise chickens and rabbits, all kinds of things. Now as a homeschooler 4H is even more valuable. My girls are both in 4H and one or the other of them always has a project selected to go to State Fair every summer. I also judge clothing at the Jr fair level. Can't say enough good things about 4H! :D
