<divclass="panel-body"> When completing a project record for a project carried over from another organization (i.e. a school art project or the Supreme Beef program), the documentation from that organization may fit the criteria for a 4-H project record, and many people choose to submit that documentation as their section 1.
This is acceptable, but the record book committee asks that you respect the judges' time by using the 4-H project record template, and not including extraneous information. </div>
<p>Goals provide direction for your 4-H project. If you've ever gone to any motivational leadership conference, you've heard about goals far more than you could ever care to, but the facts show the people with goals accomplish more. Great, you say, how do you make goals? I'm glad you asked.</p>
<p>Every goal should have a bigger purpose or reason behind it.</p>

<dt>Bad Example</dt>
<dd>To volunteer for three leadership positions in the community this year (because I need another Youth Leadership goal for my record book)</dd>
<dt>Good Example</dt>
<dd>To volunteer for three leadership positions in the community this year (because I need to improve my public speaking and organizational skills)</dd>
You don't write the "why" in your record book, but if you have a good why, you will write better goals and be more motivated to accomplish those goals.

<p> The label "Size & Scope" has caused confusion for several generations of 4-Hers.
Let's define these words to clear that up. </p>
<dlclass="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Size</dt>
<dd>is numbers, i.e. the number of hours spent, dollars invested, contest points earned, pounds of feed, etc.</dd>
<dt>Scope</dt>
<dd>indicates the varieties, different types, recipes, plants or animal breeds with which you worked.</dd>
Good Size & Scope sections vary widely depending on the project, but all of them record the items (physical or intellectual) used in the project, and the time and money spent on the project.
Take a look at the examples for ideas to get you started. </p>

<divclass="panel-body"><strong>Financial Information</strong> and <strong>Market Summary</strong> tables are provided under Size & Scope.
They are not intended to serve as a full Size & Scope, but they may be useful to augment your existing data.
Use them if you think they are appropriate to your project. </div>
<blockquote> Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. <small>Proverbs 8:10 KJV</small></blockquote>
<p> Knowledge & Skills Acquired serves two purposes.
First, it allows you to address whether or not you met your goals.
Second, it tells readers what you actually learned this year in your project. </p>
<p> To complete Knowledge & Skills, create a heading for each <ahref="#goals">goal</a> you wrote.
Write a paragraph (at least three sentences) explaining if you met the goal, how you met the goal (or why you did not meet the goal), and what you learned from the goal.
After each goal is addressed, include paragraphs explaining anything else you learned about your project area.
Remember that your readers might not know anything about your project area, so be sure to explain it in a way that a layperson can understand. </p>
When you compete in the county fair or other 4-H contest with your project, list that competition here and list what place you got.
If you have a project that involves multiple items (i.e. a knitted scarf <em>and</em> a knitted hat), list both of those items and the placings each received.
