IMPORTANT!!!! Record Book Changes for 2015-2016
Changes for 2015-2016
www.4hreports.com is no longer available; retrieve any stored data before October 31, 2015
Record Books submitted for judging in 2016 are to be completed using the Microsoft Word forms found at texas4-h.tamu.edu
Member categories Junior (grades 3-5) * Intermediate (grades 6-8) * Senior (grades 9-12)
Clarification on reporting of learning experiences. Activities that occur in non-4-H settings such as other community or youth organizations, or in a self-directed project may be reported in the Junior Diary, Intermediate Personal Journal or Senior Section I as learning experiences.
All competitive events outside of 4-H are to be reported as non-4-H.
4-H members winning first place in a record book category may enter that same category again.
NEW!! Livestock Judging can be reported as a 4-H project. Other judging contest activities will continue to be reported within the 4-H Project it supports. (Whereas Horse Judging supports the Horse Project, Livestock judging involves multiple species; thus it can be reported as a stand-alone project.)
Categories — Dairy, Housing & Home Environment and Safety have been eliminated as a stand-alone category in 2015-16. Agricultural Sciences has been added. Please see category descriptions, efforts have been made to ensure the books in the eliminated categories have a place to enter.
Other items to note:
Personal Information Page (required, but not judged) available as a fillable PDF
Junior Books — current year’s report form only
Intermediate books — include prior year’s report forms as part of the overall evaluation
Senior books — include three year’s prior report forms as part of the overall evaluation
