The Thurston County 4-H Record Book is specific to Thurston County. 4-H members should use this Record Book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Record Book is divided into five sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>My 4-H Calendar:<\/strong> Write down the events and activities that you will be involved in. Keep track of important events such as 4-H meetings, county fair, camp, and project-related activities. Put all events\/meetings in chronological order. Place a &#8220;check mark&#8221; after each event you attended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>My 4-H Projects:<\/strong> Use a separate project goals, project photos, How did you do?, and add sheet for each of your projects. (Each project will be labeled with its own tab.)\n<ul>\n<li>Project Goals. Goals should be made at the first meeting or at the beginning of the 4-H year. This is an agreement between you, your project leader, and your parents about what you want to learn. Cloverbuds should record at least one project goal. Juniors should have at least two project goals. Intermediates and Seniors should have at least three project goals. Describe how you will reach each goal. Obtain the required signatures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project Photos. Attach photographs of your project. All photographs should be captioned and dated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How Did You Do? Take a look back at the Project Goals you listed at the beginning of the year. How did  you do? List each of your goals. Using a scale from 4 to 1, rate how you feel you did on each goal. Also, give a short explanation of why you think you deserve the rating you gave yourself. Include what you learned and any problems or successes in your explanation. If you reported more than three goals, insert additional copies of this page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project Add Sheets. Attach an animal or still life\/non-animal project add sheet for your project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project Name:<\/strong> Complete a project section for each project you are enrolled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Permanent 4-H Record:<\/strong> The Permanent 4-H Record is an additional book added to your yearly Record Book. Unlike the yearly Record Book that you replace each 4-H year, the Permanent Record is used year after year. Use this to record your participation in leadership, public presentations, judging, and other activities and contests during the years you are in 4-H. Write the 4-H year and &#8220;None&#8221; for any activity you did not participate in. Do not leave any sections blank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>My 4-H Story:<\/strong> \n<ul>\n<li>Narrative. Write your story for the year in narrative form. Write as though you are actually talking to the reader. Your story should have four parts and be no longer than two sides of one page. If you have 3 or more projects you may add one additional page (front and back).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplemental Information: This section is limited to one page (front and back). It should be related to your club, community, or school. It may contain pictures, news clippings, or letters. All items should be captioned and dated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<section  class=\"wsu-section wsu-dropshadow--low
