Harold Darden
Mr. Harold Darden, Georgia Associate State 4-H Leader Emeritus, passed away September 18, 2018, at the age of 98.
After serving in WW2, Mr. Darden returned to the United States and became a county 4-H agent in DeKalb County, later
transferring to Carroll County. He was asked to join the state 4-H staff after the summer of 1955 and retired in 1975.
He leaves a strong legacy of service to Georgia 4-H and is recognized as one of the eighteen founders of Rock Eagle 4-H
Center. Mr. Darden helped develop the camping program for Georgia 4-H, and he wrote the Citizenship Ceremony that
has been used since 1959 at Georgia 4-H State Council.
In 2010, he was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame, and in 2013 he was awarded the Georgia 4-H Lifetime
Achievement Award.
We are thankful for Mr. Darden’s dedication to Rock Eagle 4-H center and the statewide Georgia 4-H program.
