Shooting Sports Reorganization

Author: Kelly Woods

Planning Unit: Oldham County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources

Plan of Work: Protecting Water and Natural Resources

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Oldham County 4-H Shooting Sports fosters life skills and positive youth development through healthy competition, service, leadership and education. In 2020, the Oldham County Program was suspended due to COVID which meant 2021 was a year of rebuilding the program.

At the start of the season, the club had lost seven coaches due to COVID fear and sickness so this was the year of rebuilding the club. The club sent five individuals to become Certified Coaches.  Coaches and Coordinators devised a plan for each discipline to start up following COVID policies and procedures and 49 members are now enrolled in all five disciplines. 

An Oldham County 4-H Teen is a member of the Kentucky 4-H Teen Ambassador Board and was recently appointed to represent Kentucky on the National 4-H Shooting Sports Board.  This member also recently received the 4-H Gold Award and will represent Kentucky at National 4-H Congress in November.
