Record books are an essential part of the 4-H experience as they encourage you to set goals, track project accomplishments and reflect on how far you've come during the 4-H year. Learn more about the process by reading Turning 4-H Project Experience into Master: 4-H Record Books. The books also are how Arizona 4-H chooses its delegates to send to the National 4-H Congress.

Project records are what have traditionally been used to qualify a youth member to attend National 4-H Congress every year.  Youth are judged on their member record books—a compilation of all their project records—with a particular focus on their last three years of completed 4-H projects.  This process typically occurred during the summer months, which allowed the member records books to be judged with time to select delegates and prepare for National 4-H Congress, which is held in November of every year.

Contact you local Cooperative Extension office to learn more about deadlines and requirements to apply for National 4-H Congress.

Using the 4-H Emblem

The official emblem is green with white H's - the 4-H colors. The white symbolizes purity. The green represents nature's most common color and is emblematic of youth, life and growth. The 4-H flag consists of a green, four-leaf, stemmed clover on a white background. The clover has a letter “H” in white or metallic gold on each leaf. The H’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health.

Use of 4-H Colors, Symbols and Emblem:

  • The use of 4-H symbols is optional. However, if 4-H symbols are used to publicize events or represent activities as official 4-H functions, their use must conform to certain regulations. Visit the National 4-H website for more information.
  • Suspected violations in the use of the 4-H name or emblem should be reported to the UCCE county director at the county level. Violations that extend beyond one county or a multi-county partnership should be reported to the Associate Director of 4-H Program and Policy.
