Project Record Books

A project record book is not meant to be a chore. Instead, it is a way for you to learn. Here are some important reasons why 4-H expects you to complete a 4-H record book for your project. Keeping a 4-H record book will help you …

• Learn how to organize yourself
• Learn how to set reasonable goals for yourself
