4-H Project Record Sheets

Many projects require record sheets instead of, or in addition to, a project manual.  The 4-H Handbook explains the requirements for each project. 

Record sheets should be filled out as neatly and completely as possible.  This is an important part of the learning experience. Parents/guardians may provide guidance, but 4-H members are expected to do their own writing or typing.  Record sheets must be signed by a leader before judging. 

Keeping good records can help you

• • learn organization skills
• • learn to set and achieve goals
• • appreciate what you have learned
• • explain to others what you have accomplished
• • keep track of project costs and learn budgeting skills
• • complete scholarship applications, job resumes, etc.
