| Record Books for Cloverbuds
Cloverbuds have a special record book to complete. It can include photos, drawings, and written thoughts about what you liked in 4-H over the past year. Parents and older siblings are encouraged to help Cloverbuds get started on their record book. Turn in the Cloverbud Record Book to your club leader on, or before, the due date. Each club has a different due date, so ask your club leader or family mentor for the details.
Find Cloverbud Record Books at https://fonddulac.extension.wisc.edu/4h/records/ under record book forms or they can be picked up at the Extension Office if your general leader does not have any.
