Taking your kids back to school often means being introduced to the many different organizations catering to youth development. Thousands of Wisconsinites are involved in organizations like 4-H, Boy Scouts, and Girls Scouts to have different opportunities outside of the school day. While you can join the organizations at any time, the fall is the most popular time for families to reach out to organizations and vice versa. Door County 4-H Program Educator Candis Dart says they had a lot of families come through and check out the projects exhibited by members during the Door County Fair earlier this month. She hopes it stoked interest in area youth to check out one of their six clubs and several different projects.

For 4-H, the re-enrollment period opens on September 1st. You can find more information on how to register by clicking this link. As for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, individual units will have their own recruitment events occurring in the coming weeks.
