NATIONAL CIVICS BEE
LOCAL PARTNER
The Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and Wyoming Chamber of Commerce, to host a statewide civics competition. The 2025 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 top 5 finalists from each Local Bee will advance to the Wyoming State Finals. The winner of the National Civics Bee Wyoming State Finals will receive a trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the National Civics Bee National Championship in the Fall of 2025.
Why Civics?
We are partnering with the National Civics Bee because we believe that informed and active citizens make for a strong country, economy, and workforce and that our continued prosperity depends on the strength of all three. Through the Bee, we promote greater civic knowledge throughout Cheyenne and Wyoming and celebrate our civic pride.
