Assessment comments

Around the World 4-H and related programs exist in over 80 countries around the world. These programs operate independently, as there is no international 4-H organization. However, through international exchanges, global education programs, and communications, they share a common bond in 4-H

[edit] 4-H Camping program

I think the article should mention the camping program. The camping program was started as a reward for those members who completed their project record books. People I have interviewed in North Carolina remember bringing their own food with them: live chikens, fresh fruit and vegetables right from the farm, etc. The camping program has now changed to a place where children can "learn by doing" but don't have to be members of a club.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Luv hikin (talk • contribs) 16:53, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] State programs section should be removed.

[edit] Soviet Union

There apparently were 4-H organizations of some kind in the Soviet Union. I read an article in National Geographic in the late 1970s or early 1980s about an exchange, with some Americans going to the Soviet Union and working at farms there, meeting the people who worked on the farms, learning about how these industrial farms operated, surprising their hosts with how American farms worked (working from dawn til dusk instead of regulated hours), and being stuffed with food at generous farm dining tables! It was a fascinating article. GBC 22:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gold Star Awards

Being a Texas only award, does this really belong in this article? If it does, should the Key Award (Kansas) be added? JavaPenguin 19:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)


It looks nearly identical to the All-Star Award in some states. As a side note, it doesn't look like there's any reference in the article to the Gold Star. Compare Texas Gold Star requirements to Virginia All-Star requirements - they are at least close enough to be considered under the same heading. Hampshire2004 04:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AG project?

I have proposed a WikiProject Agriculture at: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Agriculture. Anyone interested should comment or sign up there. Thanks.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American spellings?

As the article is about 4-H in the United States, should the spelling be American (colors instead of colours)? I see where it has been changed back and forth in the past, so I though I would bring this up for the community to discuss. JavaPenguin (talk) 08:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox?

Could someone create an infobox for this article, using template:infobox organization. I would, but I know nothing on the subject. StevePrutz (talk) 04:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
