4-H Club Pledge
I pledge . . .
My HEAD to clearer thinking.
Working with animals provides mental relaxation from schoolroom studies and at the same time stimulates quick thinking and alertness.
My HEART to greater loyalty.
The close bond of friendship that develops between a horse and his master and between young people planning and working together in a common interest is conducive to a deepening sense of loyalty and consideration of others.
My HANDS to larger service.
Skillful hands are a must for a horseman. It is the touch of the hands on the reins that telegraph the rider's wish to his mount.
My HEALTH to better living.
Out-of-door activities affect every nerve, muscle, and organ of the body in a healthful way.
For my club, my community, my country, and my world.
The associations and varied activities in 4-H Club work provide many opportunities for young people to prepare themselves for active participation in the social and economic life of their community.
