Youth Tour 2012 - Juniors: Win the trip of a Lifetime!

Tri-County Rural Electric will send six students from the co-op's service territory on an all-expenses-paid trip to the nation’s capital this summer.

If you are a high school junior who enjoys sightseeing, history, politics and making new friends, then this trip may be for you.

The lucky students will have the opportunity to explore Washington, D.C., with a group of their peers from across the country during the 2012 Rural Electric Youth Tour, a six-day sightseeing excursion that mixes fun and education.

During the tour, which takes place in June, participants will have the opportunity to explore Washington's historic sites, visit the Smithsonian, make friends with Youth Tour students from throughout the United States, meet with federal legislators, and learn about electric co-ops and the cooperative
movement.

The 48th annual Youth Tour is expected to draw more than 1,400 students to Washington for the week. If you are interested in being one of them, here is what you need to know:
