Calling all middle school students!
Share your ideas and flex your civics knowledge in the
National Civics Bee®.
ABOUT THE BEE
The Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber is partnering with the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a nonpartisan civics competition
that encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute
to their communities. Participating 6th, 7th and 8th graders will
flex their civics knowledge for a chance to win recognition and
cash prizes. Finalists will be invited to Washington, DC to compete
in the National Civics Bee® national championship in Fall
2025.
WHY CIVICS?
The Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber is participating in the National
Civics Bee® because we believe that informed and active citizens
make for a strong country, a strong economy, and a strong workforce,
and that our continued prosperity depends on the strength of all
three. Through the Bee, we are promoting greater civic knowledge
in Missouri and celebrating our civic pride.
HOW TO ENTER
