The 4-H Pledge

The 4-H pledge originated in the U.S., and was written by Otis Hall of the Kansas State College of Agriculture. It was officially adopted by the American 4-H program at the first National 4-H Camp in June 1927. At the request of several states and on the recommendation of 4-H members attending National 4-H Conference (formerly National 4-H Club Camp), the pledge was changed in 1973 to include "my world." Their addition is the only change ever made to the 4-H pledge. (from the California Extension website)

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.
