Records

The recognition you get for your work in 4-H depends on what you do. To help keep track of your project-related activities, record them as you do them. Then when you are ready to complete your project record, you will have the information you need.

Part of your entomology record includes project-related activities you participated in during the year. There is a place to record these activities on your project record. Examples of activities you might want to record are given below.

• Number of club meetings you attended
• Committees you served on (such as clean-up, membership drive, fund raising)
