The Bronze Star Award is the highest achievement award available to junior level 4-H members through the Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program. It will be awarded only once in a member’s 4-H career. To maintain the quality of the award, the following criteria will be considered the minimum. Any 4-H member not meeting these criteria will not be considered for the award. Galveston County 4-H may choose not to award the Bronze Star Award if there are not 4-H members in the county who exceed the minimum criteria.
