Nevada Star Rank Program
4-H members accumulate points for work completed each year. Points lead to earning white, red, blue, gold and all-star pins in the
Nevada Star Rank Program. 4-H'ers should begin filling out the Star Rank From the first day of their 4-H experience. All members
who complete the requirements for a particular star and fill out and turn in the required forms will be awarded that star. As
members participate in more activities, they advance through the five ranks in the 4-H Star Rank Program.

In addition to earning ribbons and awards at various horse shows and competitions,
members have the opportunity to earn awards for completing various tasks throughout the
year.

There are two End-of-Year Celebrations held at the close of the 4-H year. One is specifically
for horse members and the other is for all of Washoe County 4H clubs. The ceremonies are
usually held in December or January.
