National Creed for Officers

The 4-H member is more important than the 4-H project. Learning how to do the project is more important than the project itself.

4-H'ers should be their own best exhibits. No award is worth sacrificing the reputation of a member or a leader.

Competition should be given no more emphasis than other fundamentals of 4-H work. Enthusiasm is caught, not taught.

To learn by doing is fundamental in any sound educational programs and is characteristic of the 4-H program. Generally speaking, there is more than one good way to do most good things.

Every 4-H member needs to be noticed, to feel important, to win and be praised (leaders , too). Our job as a leader is to teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think.
