Emblem, Colors, Pledge & Motto
The four-leaf clover is the official 4-H emblem. The four "H’s" stand for head, heart, hands and health.
The 4-H colors are: GREEN – life, springtime, youth; and WHITE – fresh and clean.
The 4-H pledge is:
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.
You should learn the pledge. You should also try to follow it in 4-H and in your daily life.
The 4-H motto is:
"To Make the Best Better." Learn it and set your goals with the motto in mind. It means to try to do everything better, to improve constantly.
