Experience with Wildcat 4-H

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone could give me feedback on the Wildcat 4-H program out here in West Contra Costa, especially for younger ages (or even any other local 4-H chapter). We have been looking for groups with leadership, outdoor, science, and citizenship opportunities or my second grade son and although he has friends in the local Cub Scouts, I am not thrilled with BSA. I also would prefer something co-ed so my daughter can participate when she is a little older. Did you feel like this 4-H group was a worthwhile experience? How much time commitment was involved? What sorts of projects did you find rewarding or not? How was the gender balance, and did you feel it was an inclusive organization with opportunities for a variety of children? Really looking for any personal experience. Thanks!
