One of the project requirements for members to complete each year is 4-H record books. Record books may be difficult, but they teach members valuable skills such as, critical thinking, goal reflection, record keeping, financial planning, and much more. All members, regardless of their project, must complete and turn them in on time. More information on project requirements can be found in our Routt County 4-H Member Handbook, Policies, and Procedures.
