4-H Youth Development

Record Keeping
Keeping records provides a way for members to measure their progress. They also make it easy to
see a project’s advantages and disadvantages. Was money made or lost? Start keeping records at the first meeting and continue through the year.

Records include time spent, cost of animals and/or supplies, savings, etc. Such records are vital and
help in making management decisions and in understanding the results of the project.
Some members may require more help than others. This is another area in which junior leaders
can help.
