Record keeping is a very valuable skill taught to members of the Texas 4-H program. Members are encouraged to keep project records and have these records reviewed annually by submitting a Texas 4-H Record Book. The primary purposes of completing a record book are for a young person to develop the skills necessary to set goals, work toward achieving those goals, reflect on his/her experiences, and set new and higher goals for themselves. A secondary benefit is to prepare young people for the process of completing quality academic scholarship applications.  Record book forms and other helpful resources are available below. If you have questions or need help completing your record book, please call the Extension office at (940) 659-1228.

*** Record Books for 2023-2024 may be prepared using the forms below, and they will be due to the Extension office by Tuesday, June 18, 2024.
