NATIONAL CIVICS BEE
AUGUST 8 | WYOMING STATE CAPITAL | 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The Greater Cheyenne Chamber is partnering with the Wyoming Chamber and U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a statewide civics competition. The 2024-25 National Civics Bee encourages young Americans in 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade to engage in civics and contribute to their communities.
The competition, modeled on traditional spelling and geography bees, allows students to win recognition and earn cash prizes by sharing ideas for improving their communities and showing their enthusiasm for civics. The finalists from the Greater Cheyenne Chamber Bee will advance to the Wyoming State Finals to compete for the state championship title on August 8, 2025.
The winner of the National Civics Bee Wyoming State Finals will receive a trip to Washington, DC to compete in the National Civics Bee national championship in Fall 2025.
