Using the 4-H Name & Emblem
Did you know? The 4-H Name & Emblem is a highly valued mark within our county’s history. As such, it was granted a very unique and special status, it is in a category similar to the Presidential Seal and the Olympic Emblem. This federal protection makes it a mark into and of itself with protection that supersedes the limited authorities of both a trademark and a copyright. As a result, responsibility and stewardship for the 4-H Name & Emblem were not given to the US Patent Office, but were given to a higher level of the federal government, a member of the Cabinet, the Secretary of Agriculture.
The Secretary has responsibility for the 4-H Name & Emblem, at the direct request of Congress. The “18USC707” is the statement in the United States Code that outlines the protection of the 4-H Emblem. The official emblem is a clover with four leaves and an “H” on each leaf. The clover’s stem must point to the right as you look at the image. The 4-H Emblem is not a plain four-leaf clover. The 4-H Emblem should appear in specific colors and in its entirety. The 4-H Name and Emblem belong to the 4-H Youth Development Program, under the authority of USDA, and anyone wishing to use it must obtain permission. If you are a 4-H member or volunteer, you are permitted to use the emblem. For detailed information on using the 4-H Emblem contact the Extension Office or go to:

Building Etiquette
As many of you know, the UW-Extension Office at 127 East Oak Street, Juneau, is the home of countless meetings, workshops, clinics, etc…involving literally hundreds of youth and adults each month. It’s an outstanding resource for all of us. Let’s keep it that way!
