Record books are one of the most dreaded things for any 4Her. But there's plenty of ways to make the whole process easier. A record book is a book that records everything you've done during the year that relates to 4H or to its virtues. That includes projects, leadership, community service, and more.
Here's a few tips:
1) If you are an intermediate or senior member who has to do LDRs (Leadership Reports), make your Pre Reports at the beginning of the year (this is how it's supposed to be, but lots of people don't do it that way).
2) Each month, sit down and fill in everything you've done this month. That means recording what you did in project meetings, what Community Service, Leadership, Communication Skills, Events, and more activities you did or attended.
3) As soon as the 4H year ends, fill in your Post LDRs, make your Expression Pages, and write your 4H Story, as well as any other thing that needs to be done besides tallying.
4) About a week before you intend to hand in your Record Book, add any last events or activities that you have done between the end of the 4H year and then, and tally up. For tallying, I recommend you do all the tallies then have someone else do them to be sure you counted correctly.
5) If you plan to get a Star Rank in the upcoming year, keep track of the requirements on your phone or somewhere easily accessible, that way you can focus on moving up to the next rank.
That's all for now! If you have any other questions or ideas, let me know.
