Why should I keep a Record Book?
4-H members enjoy working with their projects, but often record keeping
is not an activity enjoyed or done on a regular basis. However, since
keeping records is necessary throughout life, anytime is a good time to
begin developing good record keeping skills. Reasons why Record Books
are important are numerous. The benefits include the following: Members
who keep good records:
Are eligible for 4-H scholarships, and 4-H awards trips such National 4-H
Congress
Learn important life skills: goal setting, organizing, planning, and written
communication
• Possible county, state, and/or national recognition
• Have an invaluable personal memory book (this has proven very helpful
as older 4-H youth complete resumes and apply for awards, including
college scholarships, job applications, & Senior portfolios)
• Learn how to set goals and evaluate their project’s progress
• May reflect on and evaluate their personal growth Basic Guidelines
1. All records should be placed in a 4-H portfolio cover or a 3 ring NO
POCKET FOLDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
2. The time period of the 4-H portfolio work covers one school year.
3. Use section dividers (Section 1—8)
4. Print or type clearly. An online version is available at
http://www.lsuagcenter.com/en/4H/teens/4h_portfolio/
5. Write a caption for each picture.
6. SAVE newspaper clippings, letters etc. TAKE lots of pictures throughout
the year.
7. DO NOT include ribbons in your portfolio.
