4H Awards have been proudly earned and worn by members throughout the years.
This page covers the County Award level and my attempt to organize and date them.
4H County Awards were basically offered in 7 versions:
There was a large number of programs that a 4H member could earn an award. The programs were modified and names changed as they were added or dropped throughout the years as the interests and the needs of the 4H members changed.
The actual designs of the awards also changed throughout the years and can be difficult to date unless they are engraved on the back or paperwork is found with the awards. It is not known who was in charge of designing the awards but it could be understood that the major corporations that sponsored the award may have had a say in the design, at least in the early days. This may explain why there is little cohesion in the early awards.
Listed below are:
