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
Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student residing in Pulaski County with an idea about using civics to improve their community may submit their essay to participate in one local competition in their state.
