Record keeping is an important lifeskill and all 4-H members are encouraged to keep written records of their 4-H club year. These records are turned in to the local 4-H office by November 1st of each year and each record is evaluated. Each member receives helpful feedback and may receive a ribbon, county medal or other award for their effort and achievement.For additional information, see Frequently Asked Questions About Records.

Cloverbud Members ages 5-7:

Cloverbud members submit one Cloverbud Record each year. The record is for the current year only and Cloverbuds do not submit a Record Summary. Instructions are available for the Cloverbud Records.

All Other Members ages 8-18:

Each year those ages 8-18 are encouraged to submit a 4-H Summary Record which includes information from all of their years in 4-H. In addition, they submit from one to five Project Records; these include information from the current year only. It is recommended that each member submit a Leadership and Community Service Record (where appropriate) and up to three Project Records of their choice. A 4-H story is also required and up to 5 pages of support materials may be included with the record. See Summary Record Instructions and Project Record Instructions for complete information. Members may submit a portfolio in place of a project record. See the "Documentation of your 4-H Project in a Portfolio" for guidelines.

Record packets are due in your local 4-H office Nov.1.

Members ages 15 and older:

We encourage older members to summarize the information from their records into a resume format. Resume packets are judged at the state level to select delegates to National 4-H Congress and National Conference. Contact your local office for more information on submitting a resume.
