Which degree can be earned by 7th-8th grade FFA members?

• A. Greenhand Degree
• B. Discovery Degree
• C. Chapter Degree
• D. State Degree

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that FFA degrees are tied to the student’s grade level and level of involvement. The Discovery Degree is specifically designed for younger members in seventh and eighth grade, serving as the entry-level recognition to welcome middle school students into FFA and acknowledge their early participation and interest in agricultural education. This makes it the appropriate option for 7th–8th graders, since the other degrees are geared toward high school members with higher levels of experience and achievement. Greenhand is the first high school degree, Chapter Degree comes after more extensive involvement in a local chapter, and State Degree targets senior high school members with substantial leadership and service records.
