National 4-H Club week Is September 26 to October 3rd. Some folks still ask, “What is 4-H?“ First, the 4-H is a nation wide organization of clubs for boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 19. There are junior 4-H Clubs. The four H’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. A member tries to develop his four H's as much as possible. The purpose of 4-H is to help boys and girls to learn and to be better citizens.
Each 4-H member must take at least one project during the year. Projects are “things to do.“ Boys and girls in town and in the county may take any of about seventy projects. These vary from raising hogs, corn, sheep and cows to studying small motors, Insects, electricity, automotive care, clothing, home management,
Sildlife and foods and nutrion. Members learn by doing. Adult voluntary leaders help with club meetings and project instruction. Much of the 4-H success is through the interest and work of these leaders. The 4-H Club program is the youth part of the Cooperation Extension Service sponsored by the county, V. P. L your land grant university, and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The County Agent and Home Agent located in Washington, Virginia are in charge of the Rappahannock 4-H Club Programs. e Last year there were twelve clubs with nearly 300 boys and girls as members. Why join 4-H? Most 4-H members join to learn. Clubs have members of the same age. Monthly club meetings let each member take part. Boys and girls like to show others “how to do” something either by exhibits or project demonstrations.
Then, there is fun in 4-H. Boys and girls like to go to camps, on tours, and to entertain. Interested parents like to help too. Lastly, there are awards and rewards. Boys and girls not only can win medals for doing the best job in their projects, but they can also win trips to V. P. I., to camp and many other places. One Rappahannock County 4H member sums up his 4-H Experiences in his Achievement Record Book by saying: “And now looking back on my 4-H experiences and opportunities, I'm glad 4-H gave me the chance to see and do things. I also met many new friends from all over the state I hope many others will accept the 4-H challenge."
