Butler County

Welcome to 4-H in Butler County - Kansas

 

4-H is a research-based experience that includes a mentor, a hands-on project, and a meaningful leadership opportunity. 4-H clubs foster a variety of interests and activities. It’s based on their interests and guided by adult volunteers. They select from a broad menu of 4‑H programs and projects. There are hands-on, learn by doing, opportunities for everyone!

Clubs meet monthly; at the meeting, they make group decisions about community service, hear presentations from guest speakers and other 4-H members, and learn about leadership, citizenship and public speaking. Additionally, the non-competitive 4-H Cloverbud program is offered to youth ages 5-7.


 

4-H is a nationwide program. Each of the four H's of the clover represent ways youth can grow and develop.
Head, critical thinking, problem solving;
Heart, self-discipline, integrity, communication;
Hands, serving others;
Health, choosing healthy lifestyles.

 

4-H Motto: 

To Make the Best Better

4-H Colors: 

The 4-H colors are green and white. Green is nature's most common color and represents youth, life and growth. White symbolizes purity and high ideals.

4-H Emblem: 

The green four-leaf clover has a white H on each leaf to represent the four H's: Head; Heart; Hands; and Health. The 4-H name and emblem are protected under federal status Title 18, U.S. Code 707. 

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.
