Toluca Boy Scouts Launch Huge Food Drive We sincerely thank all the Boy Scouts and their leaders for their hard work and the citizens of Tolu- ca for their donations! 4-H members from Bureau, La- Salle, Marshall and Putnam Coun- ties gathered together at Illinois Valley Community College for a fun, Halloween-themed 4-H Of- ficer Training. Through hands-on activities participants learned all about their role as a club officer, positive youth development, how to make meetings fun and effec- tive and parliamentary procedure. They took home many resources that they will be able to use within their 4-H clubs. 4-H clubs are run by youth of- ficers, including a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and reporter, with the support of adult volunteer leaders. Other offices can also be included like histori- an and parliamentarian. Officers are responsible for the monthly meetings running smoothly and efficiently, as well as setting the tone for the club and its members. In lending support to their clubs, officers are also learning leader- ship skills that they will be able to put to use in many settings beyond their 4-H club.
