These trips include National 4-H Congress, West Virginia Older Members Conference, Camp Miniwanca and Virginia 4-H Conference. National 4-H Congress is a once in a lifetime experience, where youth from all across the nation get together to address the needs and issues of youth, listen to motivational speakers and socialize with fellow 4-Hers. Congress takes place at the end of November. West Virginia Older 4-H Members Conference is a Leadership Development Conference that occurs at the end of June in Jackson’s Mill, West Virginia.

Record Books are due to the Extension Office by January 24, 2020 by 7:00 p.m. Your 4-H record book must be signed by your club leader prior to submission at the county level, so please make those arrangements well ahead of the due date.

without a leader’s signature will not be accepted. Record books can be either typed or hand written. Forms are available online at our website, http://extension.umd.edu/cecil-county/4-h-youth/record-keeping or in paper form from the Extension Office.
