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. You will keep track of the 4-H activities you attend, and committees or chairmanship 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 and general meeting as well. Last of all you must 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.

Emerald Star is a rank awarded for a planned leadership activity implemented within the 4-H program or within the community.  The Emerald Star is separated from any other star rank.  It has been designed to give members a chance to plan and execute a goal from beginning to end.  The Emerald Star is for older members, thirteen years of age or older, and who have completed one year in 4-H.

Background - Emerald Star

Older members are encouraged to work in a more independent environment.  Teen members that have developed skills can share them with younger members.  Teens are seen working on projects more independently; developing, implementing and evaluating their leadership plans, and providing information and resources to others in the program.  At this level, there needs to be guidelines, general direction, and assistance, but highly independent and individualized plans and programs.  The plan of proposed leadership should be offered on a multi-club basis, in the community, or in the area.

The San Diego County 4-H All Star rank is the highest countywide 4-H achievement. Only qualified 4-H members will attain this rank. A person who has achieved this rank is designated as an All Star.  An All Star has shown and continues to exemplify:

• Enthusiasm and commitment to the 4-H Program
• Contribution to the 4-H Program
• Citizenship and community pride
• Leadership
• Teamwork
• Enjoyment of public speaking
• A positive role model for all 4-H members

The 4-H members that are chosen to be All Stars have shown exemplary accomplishments in the 4-H Program and the community.  The rank of 4-H All Star should not be looked upon as an award only, but as a responsibility.  All Stars work together as a team to participate in, lead and promote the 4-H Program.

Background - All Star

 All counties in California have a County 4-H All Star for older youth. All Stars are the ambassadors of the 4-H program in a county.  As an ambassador, they visit other 4-H clubs; reaches out to other organizations within the community; and attends and participates in the 4-H State Leadership Conference, 4-H County meetings, State or Sectional 4-H meetings and events, and other activities.

Typically, the 4-H All Stars plan their own program within the established guidelines.  Their "Plan of Action" includes planning and leading a county event, field trips, visiting clubs, participating in Council meetings, presenting the 4-H program to other agencies, etc. All Stars act as visible 4-H members - role models for their fellow 4-H members, their county, and their world.
