2013 Frederick County Bug Patrol 4-H Club

Back to Frederick County 4-H Clubs

The Bug Patrol is a specialty 4-H club that emphasizes the Entomology project area. Under the leadership if Dr. Turell, members explore the wild world of insects through "collection trips", behind the scenes Smithsonian experiences, and much more. Their partnership with the USDA/APHIS Training Facility in Frederick County has proven to be invaluable, as these 4-Hers have the ability to get up close and personal will all manner of creepy crawlies.
