Record-keeping is an important part of 4-H! It is a way to keep notes about what you have learned and accomplished during the past year and helps you to set goals for the upcoming year. It also is a way to let others know what you have accomplished and assist you in the award-selection process as well as have a complete record of your activity for future use on award applications, scholarship and college applications.
4-H’ers should submit the following forms:
