Objectives:	Learn record keeping skills document 4-H learning experiences teach youth to set goals and monitor progress toward those goals reflect on and understand the value o 4-H learning experiences monitor the growth and development of 4-H members provide awards and recognition document the value of 4-H participation (these are the reasons we do record books, not the objectives reached through 4-H projects and coded into the record book)
Descrpition:	Most 4-H record books are due to your county Extension agent during early June. So prepare early. Begin to develop your 4-H record book in April and May. This will give you plenty of time to get help from your parents, club manager, leader and Extension agent, and you won’t be rushed. The first step in creating your 4-H record book is to decide what category you are going to enter. With this record book you can enter almost any 4-H project for competition. For a list of current year record book categories refer to the current year’s Texas 4-H Clover available from your county Extension office or the Texas 4-H Web site. When choosing a category, remember that you will want to enter your record book in the category in which you have been most active or in which you have a lot of community service, leadership and learning experiences. The category list allows a 4-H member, involved in a project that does not fall into a specific category, to enter one of the open categories. There are seven broad “Open Categories” that allow for the entry of many neat projects. However, your project must be listed correctly. For example, if you have an iguana project, list it under the “Plants and Animals Open Category,” because an iguana is a companion animal. You cannot enter a recordbook in an “open” category it if is listed as a recordbook. For example, a beef recordbook must be entered as a beef recordbook and not in the “Plants and Animals Open Category.
Fee:	There is no fee for Recordbooks entered in District Competiton. First place Senior Recordbooks are eligible to compete at State, and there is a $12.00 fee for this opportunity.
