Cayden F. Lowe, daughter of Eric and Cameron Lowe of Aydlett, was inducted into the NC 4-H Honor Club, one of the highest honors a 4-H’er can achieve. The 26 new 4-H Honor Club members were tapped during a candlelight ceremony, Saturday July 22, 2023 during the opening ceremony of NC 4-H Congress.

Membership in the Honor Club is based on service to the 4-H program, leadership, moral standards, 4-H activities and project achievement. Less than one-half of one percent of North Carolina 4-H’ers are selected for membership each year. Members must be at least 16 years old and have a minimum of three years 4-H experience.

Cayden was also awarded four NC 4-H Scholarships for post secondary education. These scholarships are awarded to NC 4-H members who have displayed outstanding leadership, and 4-H achievement, as well as a high level of academic excellence

Cayden was awarded the following 4-H Scholarships:

Dr. Thomas Hobgood 4-H Scholarship for the Northeast District

Anne Kristine Barnes 4-H Scholarship 

Gordon E. Sawyer Memorial 

William Edmond Sawyer 

Cayden has participated in 4-H for the last 12 years specifically in the areas of Equine Science, Service Learning and Public Speaking. She graduated from Currituck County High School this past June and will be attending East Carolina University this fall. 

4-H is North Carolina’s largest youth development organization, equipping more than 263,000 young people each year with the skills to succeed and improve the world around them. 4-H programs and camps encourage young people to “learn by doing,” helping them to develop into active, contributing citizens. NC State Extension and the Cooperative Extension Program at N.C. A&T State University coordinate 4-H programs statewide.
