Celebrate National 4-H Week October 4-10 |
We will be hosting another Goosechase Experience to help Celebrate National 4-H Week! Goosechase is an electronic scavenger hunt. The 4-H Goose Chase is a virtual team mission-based scavenger hunt played through the GooseChase App for FREE. You will have missions for your team to complete. Missions have a name, description, and point value and are achieved through snapping photos, texting in answers, or GPS location tags. As you complete missions, your team will accrue points at a chance to win great prizes!
Each club will need to set up a Club team. The Goosechase will kick off on Sunday, October 4, and end on Sunday, November 8. During the experience, new missions will be released. Members can complete challenges at a club meeting, at home, etc. The team with the most points will win a prize as a club.
There will be bonus missions and opportunities to earn more points for clubs who participate at the Fall Kick-Off and at county-wide Officer Training.
