4-H Youth Development
4-H is a nationwide program led by state land-grant universities in cooperation with local county/district extension councils. In Kansas, 4-H is the largest youth educational program, aside from public schools. Each of the four H's on the clover represent ways youth can grow and develop in 4-H:
Head: critical thinking, problem solving;
Heart: self-discipline, integrity, communication;
Hands: serving others; and
Health: choosing healthy lifestyles.
In 4-H, youth have fun with a purpose!

The Boling 4-H Club held a meeting on May 11. Due to the COVID-19 virus, the State 4-H office said that we cant meet as a group until after July 4. So the meeting was on Zoom (internet).We did not hold a meeting in April, so this was considered a combined meeting. Most of the members were present and there were four visitors. The visitors were Tucker and Logan Simpson and Daxton and Boone Kessler.
All officers gave their regular reports. The fundraising committee listed some potential events. Mr. Hunsecker explained there was a possibility of mowing a public cemetery from June to October. It would have to be mowed every two weeks. The Club also discussed a making lunch plates at TSC.
The Vice President presented the program; there were four presenters. Paisley Crow did a woodworking project talk. She explained the process of choosing the wood and how she built it. Mitchell Waters and Tucker Simpson did a demonstration on making cookies using a cake mix instead of cookie dough. Shiloh Frederick gave a demonstration on how to use a microscope and then showed several items she has to look at. Allison Murphy gave a demonstration on some of her dance moves.
The leaders and Ms. Murphy talked about what the County Fair might look like, but no decisions have been made. Mr. Magee presented the Senior Scholarship to Logan Buffo. Then the meeting was adjourned.
