Which degree is awarded for initial achievements and commitment to FFA?

• A. Discovery/Greenhand
• B. Chapter
• C. American FFA Degree
• D. Honorary FFA Degree

Answer: (A)

Progression through FFA degrees marks increasing levels of involvement and leadership. The first recognition a member receives is for starting out and showing early commitment, which is captured by the Discovery/Greenhand degree. This initial award acknowledges a member’s new status and their beginning understanding of the organization, setting the stage for further growth.

The other options represent later or honorary recognitions: the Chapter degree goes to members who have taken on more active leadership and service; the American FFA Degree honors substantial national-level achievements; and the Honorary degree is awarded to individuals for special contributions outside the normal student progression. So for initial achievements and commitment, the Discovery/Greenhand match is the best fit.
