Motto: To Make the Best Better

The 4-H motto refers to each member. It means that each member will do the “best” that he/she possibly can in whatever is attempted. The member will then strive to improve the next time so his or her initial “best” becomes “better.” The 4-H motto encourages members to stretch their abilities and capacities to reach greater achievement within their own potential.

The 4-H Colors: 

Green is nature's most common color and represents youth, life, and growth. White symbolizes purity and high ideals.
