Symbols and Traditions As the 4H program grew through the years, symbols that express the spirit and ideals of the organization developed.
The 4H motto, "To Make the Best Better," should be the aim of every 4H member and leader.
4H Pledge Every member should know and be able to repeat the 4H Club pledge:
"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."
In repeating the pledge, members raise their right hands to their foreheads when the say, "my head to clearer thinking." They lower them to their hearts as they say, "my heart to greater loyalty." At the line, "my hands to greater service," they extend their hands, palms upward. At the last line, they stand at attention with their hands at their sides.
