Cover Page ● The start to every record book

Let's start at the very beginning,
That's a very good place to start. Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music

Cumulative Cover

The cumulative cover is the boring page that contains the basic info the extension office and record book judges need to know to identify your book. Add info to the bottom of the list and update your club if needed. Remember, this page should stay with your book for your entire 4-H career.

Tip

The report year for 4-H runs from October 1st to September 30th of the following calendar year. When recording dates in your record book, it is important to mark both years (i.e. 2015-2016) or the month and year (July 2016) so that readers can determine which report year the event pertains to.

Submission Cover

If your book is to be judged, this cover helps the judges find the correct sections to judge. Before submitting your book, fill out the info at the top of the page and check every project you were in this past year. The judges will return this sheet to you with their comments. You will need a new sheet for every year you submit your record book for judging.
