Track your progress
4-H members like you do awesome things every year. Keeping track of what you do in 4-H can help you to talk about your accomplishements
with others. Many members keep track of what they did with a 4-H record book. Record books can be really helpful when you apply for college, jobs, or scholarships! If you are unsure of what record keeping your county does, ask your 4-H educator
or a club advisor.
What should I record?
There’s a lot that you can do in 4-H, so keeping track of everything might seem like a lot of
work. If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, you should include it in your record.
