A few of our Herds of Thunder riders attended the Youth Leadership Conference this weekend. Guest speaker Trish Meyers gave great guidance on how to pick the correct job and give a proper handshake.

Our group enjoyed the leadership activities and made new friends.

One of the great benefits of 4H participation is the access to various scholarships! Check it out!

🎓 The 2025 Agriculture Student Scholarship is now open for student applications! 🎓

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, for the 15th consecutive year, is proud to offer this scholarship opportunity for Saskatchewan students.

$15,000 is available to four students who are passionate about telling the story of agriculture in this province.

Saskatchewan Grade 12 students and recent high school/GED graduates (within the last two school years) have the chance to win a grand-prize scholarship of $6,000 or one of three runner-up scholarships of $3,000, when they submit a three-minute video or 1,000-word essay on the topic of solutions to challenges in agriculture.

This year’s scholarship theme asks young people to clearly articulate a challenge that the agriculture industry faces, with special consideration to how this affects public trust in agriculture, then explore creative solutions to solving the challenge.

To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must be planning to take an agriculture-related post-secondary education program, anywhere in Canada, beginning in the fall of 2025.

📆The deadline to apply is March 1, 2025.
