4-H Colors & Symbol

    The green and white coloring have a special meaning.  "Green" represents life, springtime and youth, while "white" is purity.  Although the clover has changed its shape and design a few times over the years, it continues to represent the clubs where youth can come together to learn, share their talents, and have fun.
