A report was given by Hope Baysinger on the Flag Burning Ceremony that the club did with the American Legion and the entire Woonsocket School student body.  Members talked about the reasons for honoring the flag and how it shows respect to Veterans and the military service that defends our rights and freedoms in the U.S.  

Reports were given by Isaiah Schultz on Barrel Setting, George Broer on Shooting Sports, and Bailey Feistner on Small Animal Weigh-in and the SD 4-H Legislative Program.
