About Record books
Why is it important you keep a record of your 4-H activities? Because, by recording your activities you can remember all the fun you’ve had so far, and set future goals! Keeping records of 4-H projects could help you when you apply for college scholarships too! 4-H Record books are books you make to record your annual projects.
The Record Book Categories will be modified this year to align with the 2024-2025 Texas 4-H Project List. The updated Record Book Family Guide and supporting materials will be posted by 10/1/2024.
We are also evaluating the usage of Zsuites for our online record book platform. We will likely discontinue this service in 2025-2026.
