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 be kind, sympathetic, and true. 

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

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

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

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

The 4-H Emblem is a four leaf clover that has an "H" on each leaf, representing Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.

The clover is green to symbolize growth and youth,, and the white color of the H's represents sincerity and honesty.

The clover was adopted in 1909 and National 4-H has a policy about the proper use of th clover to help preserve its special character.

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.
