THE 4-H EMBLEM:

The 4-H Club emblem is a green 4-leaf clover with a white “H” on each leaf.  Each leaf represents one of the four H’s.  The H’s stand for head, heart, hands, and health.

4-H COLORS:

The white in the 4-H flag symbolizes purity.  The green is nature’s most common color and represents life, growth, and youth.

4-H PLEDGE:

I pledge:

• My head to clearer thinking

• My heart to greater loyalty

• My hands to larger service

• My health to better living

• For my club, my community, my country, and my world.

4-H SLOGAN:

“Learning by Doing” is the 4-H member’s way of acquiring new skills and learning how to get along with others.  New skills come from working with the hands.  Ability to get along with others comes from working and playing with the group.

4-H MOTTO:

“To Make the Best Better” is the aim of each member in improving themselves as a person, their project work and in building better clubs and communities.

4-H CREED:

The creed expresses the 4-H members’ belief that opportunities offered in 4-H work are sound and useful to the citizens of a democracy.

I believe in 4-H club work for the opportunity it will give me to become a useful citizen. 

I believe in the training of my Head for the power it will give me to think, to plan, and to reason.

I believe in the training of my Heart for the nobleness it will give me to become kind, sympathetic, and true.

I believe in the training of my Hands for the dignity it will give me to be helpful, useful, and skillful.

I believe in the training of my Health for the strength it will give me to enjoy life, to resist disease, and work efficiently.

I believe in my county, my state, my community, and my world, and in my responsibility for their development.

In all these things that I believe, I am willing to dedicate my efforts for their fulfillment.
