A:  Otis Hall

Otis-Hall
Otis Hall, the State 4-H Leader in Kansas, was responsible for the original wording of the 4-H pledge.  It was officially adopted for the organization at the first National 4-H camp in 1927.  The pledge remained unchanged until 1973, when it was revised to include the phrase "and my world."
