4-H Forms
Kansas 4-H Record Books and Award Applications
Kansas 4-H Record Books and Award Appliations are due at the beginning of every October. A 4-H Record Book gives 4-H'ers a chance to show and tell what they have learned and accomplished throughout the 4-H year.
A COMPLETE 4-H Record Book must be turned in to your Club Leader, along with the County Champion Application Form, and the appropriate Pin Application. Your Club Leader will review and give to the Extension Office for judging. Winners of this judging will be recognized at the annual Achievement Banquet.

Note: The Simplified Kansas 4-H Record form may be used for project completion related to Achievement Pin requirements, but will not be judged.
All submitted project records will be scored on the Danish system (purple, blue, red, white) utilizing the Kansas 4-H Project Report Evaluation Score Sheet. Those receiving purples or blues in each project will be ranked.
In Marion County, medals will be awarded to the top ranked equal to 10% of the number of youth in the project, in that age division. Ribbons will be awarded to those receiving blues or purples who do not receive a medal.
The top book in each project from the senior division in each county will be eligible to advance to area screening. The top two books in a project area from a single county will advance if there is not a senior book available from the other county.
