When it comes to 4-H there are foundations that are supported by many large companies and individuals that provide funding for the 4-H projects. The elected volunteer county 4-H committee directs the individual volunteer leaders. These volunteers receive no pay for there work. When I was a State 4-H officer all of the state officer were involved in raiding the funds needed t secure the land and build the camp. I drove over a part of the state I lived in conducting meeting to enlighten people of the need for funding. I was eighteen and received no money for mileage and time. That camp is one of the finest and is owned by a Foundation and operates on its own funding charged for its use. This was not done with a hand out from the government. If you check you will find that all of the awards and trips that 4-H member receive are from foundations supported by individuals or large companies not from TAX money.

So I say “Do not throw the baby out in the washwater”. gitrib
