Why 4-H Records?

Record keeping is a vital life skill taught through 4-H. It helps a 4-H member develop goals and then see if those goals were met at the end of the year. It also, helps record your history with 4-H, such as your leadership, the cool community service projects you assisted with, the workshops you participated in and those that you taught.

Record keeping can be fun, because it is something that you create!

Why keep records? 4-H records help remind you of all the fun and learning that has happened over the years! It also helps when you apply for awards, scholarships and even college!

Preparing 4-H Records

It is now time to begin putting your records together. They will be due into our Extension Office by December 12.

Here is a link to the forms you will need.

Scroll down the page and click on the records for your age category. Remember you can save them into your computer and work on them at your own pace.

Ages for recordkeeping include:

9-10
11-12
13-15
16-18

We held a recordkeeping workshop in September. I have some good handouts if you would like additional assistance.

Keep up the good work!
