THE 4-H RECORD BOOK

4-H record books serve a variety of purposes in the 4-H Youth Development Program.  While society has changed, so have the goals of 4-H members to reflect on their yearly work completed as well as maintain records of project and club work.  4-H members demonstrate growth and measure achievements across their years in 4-H.

In record-keeping, 4-H members develop the following life skills:

  • Maintaining records of 4-H project, club work and school and community activities.
  • Keeping personal and business records.
  • Improving communication with other people.
  • Learning time management and organizational skills.
  • Learning responsibility and developing goal setting skills.
