Service Stars

The Service Stars of Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum are earned within the 4-H Club. They are earned on the total amount of club activity.  Keep track of the 4-H activities you attend, and committees or chairmanship positions served on. Presentations and Demonstrations play a huge role. They are required for you to earn any awards or ranks. You must attend your 4-H project meetings as well as the general meetings.  Turn in your Record Book for your leader to know what you have done. Record books are judged yearly and record keeping is a very important part of 4-H. Click here for more information on service stars...
