🎉 $1,101,870 raised! 🎉

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Tractor Supply Co. team members and customers, the Spring Paper Clover campaign raised $1,101,870 to support local youth through 4‑H.

We’re especially grateful to the 4‑H’ers who showed up in Tractor Supply stores across the country, proudly sharing their 4‑H stories and sparking conversations about what’s possible for young people.

Funds raised through Paper Clover help create access to 4‑H camp and leadership experiences, empowering youth to build confidence, skills, and connections—so they’re truly for what’s next.

Thank you for making this impact possible! 💚🌱

A 4-H Archery Instructor Certification Training is planned for June 18–19 in Lancaster County for adults interested in assisting with a local 4-H Archery Club. This training is open to adult volunteers from across South Carolina.

Training dates include:

Thursday, June 18 — Classroom component from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Friday, June 19 — Full-day training and range time from 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM

Participants will receive instruction on archery safety, range setup, equipment, shooting techniques, and youth development practices related to the 4-H Shooting Sports program.

This certification training is designed to prepare adult volunteers to teach and supervise youth archery programs within 4-H. The focus of the training is on safety, instruction, range management, and youth development rather than beginner shooting instruction.

The cost of the training is $100 and includes all training materials and lunch on Friday.
