4-H Member Records and Materials

Animal records are found on the 4-H Animal Science Page

Members should keep a record of their 4-H activities.

A helpful tool found in the 4-H Box is the Achievement Record. This record can help members keep track of their achievements through their 4-H years and help them fill out awards applications.

4-H General Projects

General projects are all the non-animal project members might complete. 

From plants to brownies and robots, these are the projects that we call "General Projects".

These projects are judged Monday and Tuesday of fair week and put on display!

Look for a gold seal or purple sticker; you may have been selected to compete at the state fair!

4-H Awards and Scholarships

4-H Achievement Awards

These awards come in two varieties: ones you apply for and ones you nominate someone for. 

Nomination Awards allow our 4-H community to recognize youth, leaders, and alumni who are going above and beyond!

Application awards build life skills and help youth strive for the next level as they climb the "Leadership Ladder".
