The purpose of keeping records is to establish good habits of setting goals, planning, organizing, evaluating, and improving written communication skills. In 4-H, the records are kept in an individual record book, which is completed by every 4-H member. Those record books that do well at the club and county level judging are highlighted at the County Achievement Program.

The Fond du Lac County 4-H EZ Record Form is a document that captures your 4-H participation in a given year. Although this form is not eligible for county-level record book awards, corresponding awards will be given based on the total number of points earned by a member for the current 4-H year using the following scale: Bronze: 30-75, Silver: 76-105, Gold: 106-215.

• Check with your club leader to verify the club deadline.
