Note: This page is dedicated for St. Charles Parish 4-H members and families. If you are a member of 4-H in a different parish, please contact your parish 4-H Agent as information and deadlines may differ.

Record keeping is a useful practice that teaches 4-H youth organizational skills and helps prepare them for organizing and producing a portfolio of their own unique experiences, which can be transferred to producing resumes, job applications, scholarship applications, and more.

Throughout the year, 4-H members are encouraged to keep records of all 4-H and non-4-H leadership, community service, and awards in which they have participated or received.

For St. Charles Parish 4-H, physical copies of all 4-H Record Books are due to the St. Charles Parish LSU AgCenter office by April 1.

St. Charles Parish 4-H members who are recognized as Outstanding 4-H Records Award recipients at the parish level will be considered for the State 4-H Records Contest.

For additional resources and to begin working in your 4-H Record Book for the contest, download a digital copy of the 4-H Record Book by
