The 4-H Pledge: The pledge tells
what 4-H is all about. 4-H has as its goal the four-fold development
of youth: Head, Heart, Hands and Health.
"I Pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart
to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service, and my Health
to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my
world."
The Slogan: "Learn by Doing"
has been the slogan for many years and continues to hold true. Young
people learn best when they are involved in their learning. The
intent is to do, reflect, and apply.
