4-H wouldn’t be the same without records. They’re an important part of completing each project. Records help you set goals, keep track of your attendance at 4-H meetings and functions, record your demonstrations and talks, and a whole lot more!

With a recordbook you can also:
• earn project pins for fully completing your 4-H projects.
• learn the importance of documentation and record keeping skills.
• compete at the district and state level.
• apply for local awards, scholarships, and other honors!

This guide explains the recordbook format and expectations.

The criteria the judges will use to evaluate your recordbook.

All senior level 4-H recordbooks must include a resume.
