Quality Counts certification is required for all youth exhibiting livestock at major livestock shows.

Quality Counts is an online course designed to help 4-H and FFA members understand the importance of ethical decision-making, character, animal care, and safe food production.

Certification is required once during each age division:

Junior: Grades 3–5
Intermediate: Grades 6–8
Senior: Grades 9–12
If your child has already completed Quality Counts during their current grade division, they do not need to retake the course this year. However, if they have moved into a new division or have never completed the certification, it must be completed before participating in a major livestock show.

The 4-H Zoo Apprentice Camp is a unique opportunity for 4-H'ers to explore the world of animals at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida. 4-H'ers become amateur zookeepers, assist zoo staff behind the scenes, and observe animal care sessions. In this learn-by-doing environment, members explore careers in the animal field and learn about animal conservation all while having fun in the park!
Two Camps are open to all 4-H Members - 4-H Junior Zoo Apprentice Camp for youth ages 11-13 & 4-H Zoo Apprentice for youth 14+! Truly a great way to spend winter break! Questions can be sent to Marcia Shannon, State 4-H Ag & Natural Resource Specialist, University of Missouri 573.882.7859 [email protected]
