4-H EMBLEM, MOTTO, PLEDGE AND SLOGAN <\/strong><\/p>\n

The 4-H club emblem is a four leaf clover with the letter “H” on each leaf. The four\u00a0 “H’s” stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.\u00a0 Leaves of the clover are green and the “H’s” are white.\u00a0 The white is for purity.\u00a0 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:
\nHEAD<\/strong> – To help you learn new and better ways of doing things
\nHEART <\/strong>-To help you develop ideals and standards for living in society
\nHANDS<\/strong> – To give you the opportunity to develop useful skills and to apply them
