Record Book Evaluation Competitions
Club Record Book Evaluation Competitions
4-H Record Books are first reviewed at the local level by 4-H Community Club/Unit Leaders and Project Leaders. Club level evaluation is based on the Danish system where 4-H Record Books are judged against a standard. Seals are awarded based on the member’s 4-H project work, personal growth and the book’s organization. Through their personal achievements and 4-H participation, members may earn Star Rank recognition. Tips for Earning and Recording Star Rank Credits in a Virtual World
The Incentives and Recognition Advisory Committee provides a state approved Club Level Record Book Evaluation Form and Comment Sheet for Club use. All 4-H Clubs that host a Record Book Competition must use this evaluation form. If your Club is only reviewing Record Books for Star Rank Advancement, this form is not necessary.
Contact the County UCCE 4-H Office for the Club Record Book Administration Guide (available only to Club Leaders).
