My 4-H Career Record Book
We
encourage all members to apply for county and state awards and trip
opportunities. We are
trying to make it as painless as possible to apply.
Last year we created a form that can be used to apply for
county opportunities such as Camp Counselor, Livestock Sale
Committee, and Junior Fair Board (instead of the Ohio Achievement
Form requirement), and this two-page
form made it much easier for our teens to apply.
This year we have revised the Ohio 4-H Achievement
application form that is required when applying for county trips and
state opportunities.
It can be an intimidating task to complete these forms if you
have not kept track of your 4-H career. To help with this process,
we have created a booklet called My 4-H Career Record Book.
It includes 12 pages that will allow you to record
information about each year of your 4-H career.
You may
either download the booklet by clicking on the link below OR you may
purchase from the Extension Office (printed on 4-H green paper!) at
just $1 each to cover printing costs.

4-H Junior Camp was GREAT!
107 campers, 25 counselors, and 9 adults volunteers accompanied
Sheila and I to camp. We had a good weather, everyone remained
healthy, all campers behaved well -- it was a GREAT
camp.
