Utilizing the South Dakota 4-H Civocacy guide resource, which includes legislative terms, calendar dates, and question prompts, youth have the opportunity to engage with legislators through an interactive scavenger hunt, attending committee meetings and caucus, and an ice cream social in the rotunda. Most importantly, participants of the event get to tell their 4-H story by highlighting the impact of the program on their life and community.
