The 4-H All Star program is an honorary organization for veteran 4-H members and leaders who have an impressive record of achievement and service. All Stars are rewarded with five-pointed red star pins, with the points representing head, hand, heart, health and home achievements. Becoming an All Star means a person has a lifelong dedication to 4-H, and those who are chosen can act on that dedication by leading local clubs, becoming a counselor or helping in county 4-H events.
At Older Members Conference and Alpha II this summer four Tucker County 4-H’ers were inducted into the WV All Star Chapter. How! How!
