  • Enhance self-confidence, self-concept, decision-making, character, personal development, responsibility, problem-solving, and sportsmanship
  • Develop leadership and citizenship within 4-H parameters for youth and adults
  • Expand 4-H membership and involve more volunteer adult leaders
  • Strengthen families through participation in life-long recreational activities
  • Create an appreciation and understanding of natural resources
  • Encourage participation in natural resources and related natural science programs by exposing participants to content through hunting and related activities
  • Develop an understanding of the principles of wildlife management
  • Complement and enhance the impact of existing safety, shooting, and hunter educational programs
  • Build awareness of related career opportunities
