Select manuals are available on the Colorado 4-H Website. Other manuals will be distributed to 4-H members through their organizational leaders (club leaders) after enrollment is complete.
4-H E-Records were previously known as Record Books. Each project has its own E-Record book that members are required to complete each year. We recommend downloading and starting your record book right away. All record books should be kept in a 3-ring binder. The front cover should have the 4-H'ers name, unit number, and project.
Need help filling out your E-Record? Talk to your club leader, project leader, or visit our E-Record help page.
