4-H Record Books
We will not have mandatory Record Book Checks this year, but we encourage all 4-Hers to keep up with their records! Market exhibitors will still need to turn in the Market Animal Health Form at Fair weigh in.
The 4-H program has a long history of record keeping. Record books teach members valuable, lifelong skills in records, accounting, reporting, and written communication. In 4-H, youth have tracked their activities, events, profits and losses, skill development and learning experiences, within their record books.
4-H Record Books serve a variety of purposes:
- They give members an opportunity to reflect on their yearly work where they can measure their achievements and growth in their 4-H career.
- They encourage members to set goals, develop plans to meet those goals, and to shift gears in the face of challenges and obstacles.
- They unlock eligibility for 4-H scholarships, travel opportunities, leadership positions, and awards at the county, state, and national levels.
Recordkeeping is an ongoing, educational and fundamental part of a member’s 4-H experience! We strive to make this a positive experience for all youth!
