Record Books & Achievements

What is a Record Book?

A Record Book is a document in which 4-H members keep track of their project work and accomplishments. The Record Book includes a table of contents, 4-H story, Annual Project Report (APR) forms, Leadership Reports (if applicable), and more! The record book is added to each year, building a detailed record of everything the member did in 4-H. 

Why should I do a Record Book?

This is an invaluable resource when filling out scholarship applications or applying for colleges. It is also a great memento of the 4-H years in one small, easy to store package. 

What are Achievements

There are 3 achievement levels: Sparks, Emerald Star, and Impact Stars. These are cumulative projects that 4-Hers work on throughout each year to help the find and develop their "spark". A spark is a special interest that fulfills the member while also serving the community.
