4-H 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.
Now is the time of year for youth to join and participate in 4-H, the youth development program of Iowa
State University Extension and Outreach. Scott County will be celebrating all things 4-H during National 4-H
Week, October 6-12.
4-H is active in each of Iowa’s 99 counties and empowers youth to reach their full potential through many
different types of experiences including photography, music, woodworking, sewing, archery, livestock, and
horticulture. Youth have fun while gaining valuable skills in communication
and the arts, citizenship and leadership, science, technology, engineering and
math, as well as healthy living and personal life management by being in-
volved in 4-H.
4-H grows confidence, creativity, curiosity, courage, character, and much
more in youth. 4-H allows youth to use the skills that they learn to go out and
make a positive difference in their communities.
Scott County Members: Make a goal to reach out to friends and community
leaders and let them know what 4-H is all about. Make social media posts and invite a friend to your Oc-
tober meeting! Let’s celebrate the great things 4-H does for us and Inspire others too!
