What is the "appropriate" dress for the weekend?
A person's dress should be in good taste and should not  be a distraction to others.
Keep in mind these specific guidelines in mind for each activity:

General Clothing Tip	Clothing should be clean, pressed and in good taste.  Clothing should be free of holes, frays and tears. No clothing alluding to violations in the 4-H Code of Conduct are allowed.   Under garments should be worn but not be visible. Midriffs should not be exposed and pajama bottoms may not be worn in the place of pants.
Friday	Comfortable, modest dress including shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes and sandals.
All Day Saturday	Comfortable modest dress including shorts and tennis shoes.  Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times except in water activities.  4-H'ers will receive t-shirts for Iron Clover to wear for the afternoon. Bathing suits may be worn for water activities only.  Bathing suits should be one piece suits and cover-ups and/or shirts must be worn over bathing suits when not in water. Appropriate footwear must be worn for Iron Clover activities. For example, tennis shoes must be worn for Iron Clover events that involve running such as softball, relays, etc.
Sunday All Day	Better school clothes including pants, collared shirts, skirts, capri pants and other better dresswear.  No shorts, jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.

Is my county delegation limited?
No.  County roll call will take place in district assemblies with the district roll call in the opening assembly.  Each county will want to be well represented.  Registration will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.  Each county is encouraged to bring the largest delegation in their 4-H history  and fill Rock Eagle.  Counties are given a minimum of 4 voting delegates with each county having a cap of 10 total voting delegates to aid in reaching the district vote maximum.  However, counties are not limited in the number of participants they may bring.

How do I run for State 4-H Board?
Complete your application with all the signatures and return it before June 10th to the State 4-H Office.  Applications will be accepted during district registrations but late applicants may not be featured in the candidate summary papers.  Complete details are available on line (click here)

Are fees waived or sponsored for any delegates or leaders?
Current Georgia 4-H Board of Directors (state officers) are sponsored as are the  2010 G4-HVLA Board of Director members. Extension Staff assigned to State 4-H Council will not need to send payment as their registration is direct billed to Rock Eagle. 

If your district has offered a scholarship, please contact the district office. In all cases, those with fees waived will have received either a letter of authorization or an email to submit in lieu of payment for CouncilIf you have specific questions concerning your 4-H'er or leader contact your District Program Coordinator/4-H orJenny Jordan

I'm an 8th grade Leadership in Action Level II winner,a 4-H Ambassador and/or a member of Clovers & Company. I am part of the progam so don't I get a discount?
In the case of Leadership in Action and 4-H Ambassadors, participation is voluntary.  While you will be featured at an assembly or in a class, your fees are not being discounted. Your reward is the opportunity to participate on a level that others can not.  If you have specific questions concerning these activities contact Jenny Jordan

State 4-H Council is a Clovers and Company required show.  While the cast is unable to participate in Iron Clover competition, the majority of the program is available.  Clovers members who are 8th grade and above must register for State 4-H Council through their county if they intend on participating in the conference.  For specific Clovers and Company questions, contact Cheryl Varnadoe

When my t-shirt size is included in my registration, am I buying the limited edition 4-H shirt? No.  We provide an inexpensive generic 4-H shirt for Iron Clover competition. This shirt is not the same quality or design as the limited edition t-shirt being sold by the Georgia 4-H Board of Directors. The purchase of the limited edition t-shirt is not done through State 4-H Council Event Registration.

I have a volunteer coming to the Wildlife Coaches Training (or the Forestry Field Day Coaches Training), do they have to come to State 4-H Council? Registration for both coaches' trainings are being managed through the Georgia 4-H Event Registration for State 4-H Council There are specific instructions for registering those individuals who are not also participating in State 4-H Council.

Our county delegation is one 4-H'er.  Do I need to provide a chaperone?
All 4-H'ers must be chaperoned by a 4-H Certified Overnight Chaperone. You may contact a neighboring county and cluster your delegations. 4-H'ers from two or three counties could be under the supervision of one leader.  4-H'ers must know who "their" leader is and the leader should be responsible for all of "their" delegation including insuring that the entire group is picked up from Rock Eagle 4-H Center.  If you have specific concerns about your delegation contact your District Program Coordinator/4-H or Jenny Jordan
