Recordbooks

Have you ever thought about doing a recordbook? A recordbook is good for those who want to keep  records of their 4-H career, win awards for resumes, or help you with filling out your scholarship applications. All seniors who complete a record Book say that it helped them with filling out their scholarship applications a lot.
