If a youth completed a Record Book in 2007, then skipped 2008, but wants to make up 2008 when doing the Record Book for 2009, does the youth have to complete...
The livestock projects in our club are banding together to host a BBQ Fundraiser on October 11th and they are tying in an informational booth about their...
Jill, My first response would be no way. However, some counties make provisions for such circumstances. I think the greater question in my mind would be why...
I agree that if the member did not turn in a completed record book for a year, the year does not count. One reason for turning in a record book is to have the...
Here is what I think and where we (my family) have put similar items in the past: ~~ Selling the tickets for the BBQ - #6 Communication Skills ~~ Attending a...
In our county we have an annual BBQ we have the sellers put that as a committee membership or chairman if you are in charge of distributing the tickets to the...
We have put selling tickets in the Leadership category in the past. This year, looking under the communication description, I thought that selling tickets...
Under those particular circumstances, I would have the members leave 4-H flyers with the people that are asked to buy the tickets. That way, "representing...
I think it would be great to have pins for winning more than once but it would mean the coulty keeping track of the winners year after year is the only proplem...
Our county allows members to write reports and receive credit for activities from previous years if there was a good reason why they hadn't written the report...
Sue that is the way I like to see countys handle the situation! yes we all want record books turned in on time and complete but members may not be interested...
Hello All, I felt the need to respond to this. I am the Awards Director for San Luis Obispo County - and I can tell you that in our county the number of record...
Hi, I have a question. We have a ranch in which we are planning to have a couple of projects. A two day event for Steer Pen Development (demolition old steer...
Wow, that is an amazing number of record books! Congratulations! In Orange County, we average about 20 primary record books, 70 jr/int record books, and 10...
I am so glad to hear these two inspiring posts. There are so many reasons why a youth would not turn in a record book, and then want to do so later on in...
I agree with the other posts. I seem to find that the biggest impediment for some of the kids is the support and knowledge of their parents, especially when...

Last year (June) my dd wrote an article on 4-H for our charter school newsletter & submitted it. It wasn't published due to length, but she took credit for it...
Hi All! We're still wondering about some items in the Lifestyle category. Are school field trips considered a Lifestyle activity? I didn't get any response the...
I think that if a member participates in separate activities (your band/symphony example) with the same skill, it should count as two. Just like so many...
I think if two different instruments are being played, it is *definitely* two different activities. However, if it the same instrument, then it seems a little...
We have been told and it is stated in the Record Book Manual in bold (p. 18) that "each organization, group, activity, or sport counts as one credit per 4-H...
It has been stated very clearly by Steve, that each sport is counted as one activity, no matter how many teams, events etc. I know that there are arguments...
My question on counting spring/fall teams of the same sport as one is that if the member did different sports they would count as two. An example is a member...
Regarding the field trips, I do not think that this would count. A camp is a much deeper commitment and level of involvement where the members spend several...
There was a significant change to Lifestyle Activities, reflected in the February 2008 4-H Record Book Manual. "Each organization, group, activity, or sport...
Now there have been two different opinions on this. Was the training workshop a state or county level workshop? If it was at State Level, then shouldn't that...
Hi Sue, Thank you so much for this calm, clear presentation of the rules. I really appreciate it! Still new to 4-H, Alexandra Matthews ... From: Thomas...
Thanks for this clarification. We were under the impression that this had not changed and kids playing a sport could only count it once regardless of the...
ok.. I have a good one for you all. We have had a family turn in their record books and are using outside sports (in youth leagues) as a project. Can they do...
