The Carberry 4-H Combines was founded prior to [1963] to organize local competitions for youth to demonstrate skills in cooking, horticulture, agriculture, livestock raising, public speaking, as well as crafts and design. It was dissolved sometime after 1974. It held annual events called Achievement Day each summer. An affiliate club was the Carberry 4-H Variety Club. They were subsidiary clubs of the local 4-H Club Council which was founded in circa 1914 as the Boys and Girls Club. This Council also co-ordinated exchanges and scholarships which focus on citizenship, facilitated leadership and career development, and addressed other needs of rural young people. The Canadian 4-H Council is affiliated with others around the world. The 4-H motto is "Learn to do by doing" and the acronym stands for Head, Heart, Hands and Health.
