Record Book Workshop

Record keepingis a very valuable skill taught to members by keeping project records. The primary purposes of completing a record book are for a young person to develop the skills necessary to set goals, work toward achieving those goals, reflect on his/her experiences, and set new and higher goals for themselves. A secondary benefit is to prepare young people for the process of completing quality academic scholarship applications. Record Books are reviewed annually during the summer months. **It is never to late to start, record books come in hand for seniors filling out scholarships**

There are new changes for 2014 – come to get the latest updates! 

Please let us know you are coming by March 28th so we have enough copies prepared! 

SIDE NOTE:

Are Record Books Required?

Our Answer:
Required no. Highly suggested yes.

To apply for our County Awards youth must complete a record book. These awards are given at our Annual 4-H Banquet in August.

For some clubs they are required to serve in leadership positions. As youth enter into high school and prepare for college they become invaluable as they begin to fill out scholarship applications and apply to different universities.

The earlier you start the easier it is to keep up with. Thankfully now they are in a format appropriate for each age (which means the 4-H member should be able to complete most on their own or with guidance from an adult).
