Happy Easter

4-H Enrollment Deadline is May 1st

Did you know Susquehanna County 4-H had 396 members and 110 volunteer leaders in 2014? What a great group of people and a fun organization to be part of! Spread the word about 4-H!

Become part of a fantastic organization!

4-H began around the start of the 20th century in the work of several people in different partsof the United States who were concerned about young people. The seed of the 4-H idea of practical and “hands-on” learning came from the desire to make public school education more connected to country life.

4-H found that youth would "experiment" with these new ideas and then share their experiences and successes with the adults.

This soon became known as 4-H clubs - Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.

Later, the basic 4-H focus became the personal growth of the member. Life skills development was built into 4-H projects, activities and events to help youth become contributing, productive, self-directed members of society. 

Good Friday

Some Gave All

Mark 14:15

Then Pilate said unto them, "Why, what evil hath he done?" and they cried out the more exceedingly, "Crucify him!"

VOLUNTARY YOUTH FISHING LICENSE

To participate in a Mentored Youth Fishing Day, anglers 16 years of age or older (adult anglers) must possess a valid Pennsylvania fishing license and be accompanied by a youth (less than 16 years of age) who has obtained a Mentored Youth Fishing Permit OR a Voluntary Youth Fishing License.The Mentored Youth Fishing Permit is free, and the Voluntary Youth Fishing License is $2.70. While both the permit and the Voluntary Youth Fishing License provide the opportunity for youth to fish on Mentored Youth Fishing Days, the Voluntary Youth Fishing License provides an extended return for both Pennsylvania’s youth and the Commission. For each license purchased for $2.70, the Commission receives $5 back in funding as a federal reimbursement. The same applies for each Voluntary Youth Fishing License Voucher, once it is redeemed. The Commission receives no federal reimbursement for Mentored Youth Fishing Permits. The funds received from the sales of the license reimbursement are then dedicated toward investment in youth outreach and education programs. While both the permit and the license provide the opportunity to participate in Mentored Youth Fishing Days, the Commission encourages anglers to purchase either a Voluntary Youth Fishing License or a Voluntary Youth Fishing License Voucher—for the future of fishing!
