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 Young Adult Conference two Tucker County 4-H Leaders were inducted into the WV All Star Chapter.
