Special Thanks | The 4-H Pledge summarizes what 4-H is all about. Four-H has as its goal the four-fold development of youth: Head, Heart, Hands, and Heath. Most 4-H members learn and try to live up to the promises they make in the 4-H Pledge. The National 4-H Pledge met with a popular response throughout the United States in its early years. The pledge was adopted by the delegates to the 1927 National 4-H Club Camp in Washington, D.C. State club leaders voted for and adopted the pledge for universal use. The saying of the pledge has prominent place in 4-H activities at regular 4-H meetings, achievement days, and other club events. (The phrase "and my world" was added to the pledge in 1973. |
