Important To Remember…. The 4-H name and emblem are held in trust by the secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The director of Extension in each state authorizes their use. In each county, the Cooperative Extension agent delegates their use to 4-H groups. All uses of the 4-H name and emblem should be consistent with the educational purposes, character-building objectives, and dignity of 4-H. Particular care must be observed in raising funds for 4-H through sale of a commercial article. Leaders should consult with the Extension agent on questions regarding use of the 4-H name and emblem.
