4-H EMBLEM, MOTTO, PLEDGE AND SLOGAN

The 4-H club emblem is a four leaf clover with the letter “H” on each leaf. The four  “H’s” stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.  Leaves of the clover are green and the “H’s” are white.  The white is for purity.  Green is nature’s most common color, and is symbolic of youth, life, and growth. The four H’s represent the 4-square development of:
HEAD – To help you learn new and better ways of doing things
HEART -To help you develop ideals and standards for living in society
HANDS – To give you the opportunity to develop useful skills and to apply them
HEALTH – To help you develop habits of good health
