Maine 4-H Project Records

What is a 4-H Project Record?

4-H members are encouraged to keep records as part of their leadership experience. Your 4-H records present a picture of your growth and development as a 4-H member. It is a requirement for all Maine 4-H members ages 9-18 to complete a 4-H project record annually. Cloverbud members (5-8) should practice their record keeping skills in partnership with an older 4-H member or an adult partner/caregiver.
