Record Books & Awards

Record Books

You have worked hard all year completing your projects, doing service for the community and helping others grow and learn.  If you don’t write it down, all of that work will fade in your memory and the details and information you will need down the road will be lost.  By learning good record-keeping skills, members are able to reflect on the growth and development they have experienced in 4-H.  Solid competitive record books lead to solid competitive scholarship applications.

Record Books are due to the 4-H Office for county judging by June 11th, 2012.

County Record Book Judging will be held on , June 18th, 2012.

District Record Book Judging will be held on July 18th.
