Pike County 4-H Guide and Project Requirements
INTRODUCTION
The Pike County 4-H Guide and Project Requirements is an all-in-one resource for all 4-H project
information. This resource will be helpful to 4-H members, volunteers, parents, and families to help
plan a meaningful and positive 4-H experience.
4-H project selection is an important part of every 4-H youth experience. The county requirements
are similar to state requirements. A superior project experience requires a balance among project
work, involvement in club activities, participation beyond the club level, and achieving goals that
were set by the youth.
Please take the time to read this and refer to this resource throughout the year. You are encouraged
to refer to the most up to date version of this resource on our website. It will be updated as we
receive new project books.
Please look for the 4-H newsletter and Facebook updates with the latest information on happenings
at the state and county level as well as important dates to remember. Our website,
www.pike.osu.edu, will have information that will help enhance this resource guide. Please make
sure you follow OSU Extension, Pike County on Facebook. We will post updates / reminders on
www.facebook.com/OSUEPikeCounty.

adults.
4-H Vision:
A world in which youth and adults learn, grow and work together as catalysts for positive change.

YOUTH MEMBER INFORMATION
Membership (4-H age: based on age and grade as of January 1st of the current year)
• Cloverbud: Begins when a child is age 5 and enrolled in Kindergarten as of January 1 of
the current year.
• Project members: Eligibility for participation in 4-H projects and competitive events
begins when a child is age 8 and in third grade. Any youth age 9 or above is eligible for
project membership, regardless of grade level. Membership requires enrollment in an
authorized Ohio 4-H club or group under the direction of an OSU Extension
professional or an approved adult volunteer. A youth’s 4-H eligibility ends December
31 the year he or she turns 19.
Membership Expectations: The expectations for membership are a balance of 4-H project
work, involvement in a club, participation in activities and events, and working towards
improving one’s personal growth. 4-H members and their parents / guardians are also
expected to abide by the Ohio 4-H Code of Conduct throughout the year and sign off on this
Code as part of the annual membership process. Code is outlined on the OSU Extension Pike
County web site: https://pike.osu.edu/program-areas/4-h-youth-development/code-conduct
Multiple Clubs: A member may belong to a second club ONLY if their current club does not
offer a project they are interested in taking i.e. shooting sports, tractor. If a member is in two
clubs, the first club listed alphabetically is designated as their primary club. The member will
receive any year-end recognition items through their primary club.
Club Members / Meetings:
• A club must have five (5) members from at least three (3) different families to be
recognized as a 4-H Club in Pike County
• A club must hold at least six meetings to be in good standing.
• Each member shall attend at least 5 of the club’s meetings, activities, service projects,
and trips. If this attendance requirement is not met, the youth will not be able to
show their animal or participate in judging. The youth will not receive credit for
completing a year of 4-H, will not receive a fair pass, or be allowed to exhibit a project
at fair or judging (no livestock at fair, no participating in judging, and no premium).
Enrollment: All member enrollment must be completed by the end of the business day on
assigned deadline. If not enrolling online, all enrollment forms must include signatures from
the member, parent and organizational leader.
County Activity Fee: Members are required to pay a $15.00 per person fee by the June 1
deadline. Cloverbuds are required to pay a $10.00 per person fee by the June 1 deadline.
Projects: All 4-H members must take a project (series of learning experiences). A member
must complete at least one project to be eligible for completion status for the year.6
Youth Code of Conduct, Rules and Policies, Volunteer Standards of Behavior: Youth need to
read, sign and abide by the Code of Conduct and all rules indicated while participating in all
4-H sponsored or affiliated activities, events, contests, shows, camps, programs, etc.
Volunteers must adhere to the standards of behavior signed when they became a volunteer
and the Pike County code of conduct signed each year. Both youth and volunteers will have
consequences if these are not followed. Copies may be obtained at
https://pike.osu.edu/program-areas/4-h-youth-development/code-conduct.
4-H and FFA Participation
Separate projects should be conducted by a 4-H member belonging to both organizations (4-H
and FFA). For a member enrolled in both 4-H and FFA, the following will be considered
separate projects: dairy herd management (cows in production), dairy heifers not freshened,
sheep breeding, commercial market lambs, beef breeding, steers, swine breeding, market
hogs (not a part of swine breeding projects). In all cases, different animals are to be carried in
4-H and FFA. 4-H or FFA youth exhibitors who exhibit and sell livestock in another county fair
are prohibited from showing and selling in Pike County.
Membership Across County Lines
• Youth are expected to affiliate with the 4-H program in their county of residence or
receive approval for membership outside their county of residence.
• 4-H membership in two counties is not possible.
• It is recognized that limited situations may occur where membership in a county other
than the county of residence might be positive. Educators in both counties must be in
agreement that this change should occur.
o Senior Fair Board rules supersedes 4-H ruling for fair participation. The Fair
Board has the policy that only Pike County residents or youth who attend a
school in Pike County can exhibit at the Pike County Fair.
• Consideration for membership in a county other than the county of residence should
be given only in situations where a positive educational experience will result.
• Any current or potential 4-H member living outside of Pike County, not attending a
Pike County school, must complete a “Request for 4-H Membership Across County
Lines” form. (For deadline please refer to the Pike County 4-H Calendar.) This form
must have approval of Extension Educators in both counties.
YEARLY 4-H COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS
In order for a member to get credit (complete) for a year of 4-H.
Cloverbuds:
• Attend at least five club meetings (or more if required by club’s By-Laws).
• Participate in club activities to the satisfaction of the Organizational Leader.
Project Members:7
• Attend at least five club meetings (or more if required by Club’s By-Laws).
• Complete all requirements for at least one project.
• Fulfill club requirements.
• Participate in club activities to the satisfaction of the Organizational Leader.
• Complete all project judging requirements.
Project Engagement and Completion:
• Complete all project requirements.
• To be eligible to exhibit at the Pike County Fair, a 4-H member must have selected
their projects and be a member of an organized club by the county deadline. These
projects must be listed on the enrollment form and are to be in the Extension Office by
the deadline.
• 4-H members must have all animal projects in their possession and continual care by
the respective identification deadline. All specified identification forms, registration
forms, and lease agreements required by the Pike County Agricultural Society must be
turned in by the required deadlines.
• 4-H projects must be different from those completed previously or simultaneously in
other groups, programs, or organizations (i.e., scouting, school projects, science fairs,
etc.).
• 4-H members are to assume the major responsibility of management, project care and
construction of the project. Organizational leaders and parents should supervise and
teach “how” but not do the actual work on the project.
• All projects and posters must be new each year. Violation of this rule will be cause for
the project to be considered incomplete and, therefore, ineligible for placing.
• To be eligible for awards, a member must: 1) be present for scheduled pre-fair or fair
judging. 2) meet exhibit requirements as stated in the project guide. Contact the
Extension Office if the time for judging conflicts with something else. The office will try
to accommodate this difference.
• It is recognized that scheduling conflicts may occur during pre-fair judging. Members
should make every effort to utilize their scheduled time slots for pre-fair judging.
Failure to appear during this time without previous notice/prior accommodations shall
be grounds for ineligibility.
CLOVERBUD INFORMATION
Ohio Youth, age 5 and in Kindergarten until age 8 and in third grade, may enroll in the Ohio
4-H Cloverbud program.
The educational system for the 4-H Cloverbud program is “activity based.” Activity based
means a variety of short term “tasting” experiences for youth that creates an eclectic,
cooperative, and fun approach to learning through an immediate, positive feedback response
to the youth’s involvement in the activity. Activities created beyond those approved for
curriculum use statewide must follow Ohio’s 4-H Cloverbud Program parameters or be
submitted for approval to the State 4-H Office.8
4-H Cloverbud membership is offered in every county in Ohio. Enrolled Cloverbud youth,
because of age appropriateness, will not be eligible for any activities or projects designed for 8
& 3rd grade to 19-year-old 4-H members. It is not the intent or the objective of the Ohio 4-H
Cloverbud program to duplicate the Ohio 4-H program for older youth, nor to create a mini
4-H concept. While many Cloverbuds will go on for other 4-H experiences, the 4-H Cloverbud
program is designed with specific educational objectives for children of that age and grade
level.
Counties will utilize age-appropriate, cooperation-based methods to give feedback and
recognition, while minimizing failure in the activities of the 4-H Cloverbud curriculum. The
focus of this feedback is to promote the youth’s confidence in meeting new challenges.
Research on this grade level indicates the best way to build confidence is to have many
opportunities in activities that emphasize success, however small. Competition with self and
others is inappropriate for the 4-H Cloverbud grade level, and therefore 4-H Cloverbud
members are not eligible for any competitive events.
Volunteers working with the 4-H Cloverbud program will be oriented and trained in: A) The
policies of the Ohio 4-H Cloverbud Program. B) Information concerning learning and
developmental characteristics of 4-H Cloverbud age children. C) Cooperative work with
parents in providing the best learning environment and support for the Cloverbud youth. D)
Use of Ohio 4-H Cloverbud curriculum. E) The Ohio 4-H Standards of Behavior for volunteers,
with particular attention to a sensitivity of working with Cloverbud children.
Cloverbuds may participate through any authorized 4-H delivery system (community, project
clubs, school enrichment groups, or special emphasis groups), depending on the needs and
resources of the individual county 4-H program. Counties are to utilize the state approved
curriculum or the 4-H Cloverbud Program Parameters.
If the 4-H Cloverbud program does not match an existing club’s direction or resources, it will
be the individual option of 4-H volunteer(s) whether they will work with this program. The 4-H
professional in the county should make every attempt to place Cloverbuds in existing single 4-
H Cloverbud or multiple-age clubs and groups, initiate new multiple-age groups, or start new
4-H Cloverbud groups within the county or neighborhood.
Fair provides a wonderful opportunity to provide reinforcement to the success building for
Cloverbuds. Fairs are open to participation by Cloverbuds, but for exhibit only. While
individual and group Cloverbud fair exhibits are encouraged:
• There will be NO formal scoring of Cloverbud members or competition of any kind
between individual Cloverbud members or between Cloverbud members and 9-19-
year-old members. Any fair participation recognition system, special prizes, or awards
must be given equally to all Cloverbud 4-H members.9

• An individual cannot be both a member and a volunteer the same year.
• There should be no more volunteers in a club than can effectively give leadership and
guidance. Volunteer positions include Organizational, Project, Activity, and Cloverbud.
For clubs to have more than 4 volunteers: “Each club may have ONE (1) Volunteer for

• If a 4-H volunteer stops advising a 4-H club or 4-H advisory committee, he/she must
re-apply to once again become a 4-H volunteer.
• All volunteers are required to attend the Annual Volunteer Training. Non-compliance of
this rule means the club volunteer is no longer in good standing for that program year and
will not receive their current year fair pass.
• All volunteers will be required to have an approved fingerprint BCI check on file at the
Ohio State 4-H Office, which will be regularly updated. Once a volunteer has been
selected for a BCI update, they will not be permitted to carry out 4-H volunteer duties until
their approval has been received by OSU Human Resources. Volunteers who are not
approved will not receive any correspondence related to 4-H business nor are they able to
have any interaction with 4-H youth.
• All volunteers must complete a yearly mandated training on Ohio State University Policy
1.50 Activities and Programs with Minor Participants. Per the university’s policy, failure to
complete this training results in a suspension of volunteer status for one program year.
Meetings: 4-H clubs are required to hold a minimum of six (6) meetings from the time the club
begins its 4-H year (after October 1) until July 15, current year.
• All 4-H members and volunteers must attend at least 5 meetings during the 4-H period of
October 1-July 15.10

include minutes from each meeting, the attendance report by member and the Yearly
Meetings at a Glance Worksheet.
• 4-H Enrollment Procedure: For the 2019-20 program year, all Pike County 4-H families have
the option to participate in online enrollment via the 4-H ONLINE program. For those not
enrolling online, enrollment forms will be available and must be completed and turned in to
the Extension Office by the assigned date.
o All forms must be completed by club members and returned all together in the folder
provided. Individual forms will not be accepted at the Pike County Extension Office.
• All projects taken by the 4-H members must be listed on the enrollment form by the
enrollment verification deadline. Projects cannot be switched or added after the enrollment
verification deadline and only those projects listed for each 4-H member will be counted.
4-H Club Treasury: There must be a real need and purpose for developing a club treasury. This
need and purpose should be understood and supported by the entire club. All club money
(receipts and expenses) should go through the club Treasurer. Clubs are encouraged to establish
a budget each year.
• All clubs must complete a “Yearly Financial Summary” by January 15 following each 4-H
year. This is a state-required form for all clubs, even if club treasury is not kept. Club
enrollments will not be approved until form is on file with the Extension Office.
• Clubs need to apply for their own EIN number by completing an SS-4 Form. These forms
are available at local banks, social security office, or from the Internal Revenue Service
(www.irs.gov). See SS-4 Form in the appendix. The EIN numbers are required for all 4-H
clubs and sales tax exemption status. The Extension Office will file each club’s 990-N by
May 15 of each year.

• Money should be deposited in a local bank. Withdrawal and/or payment of bills should be
by approval of the club or club’s executive committee.
• 4-H club money should not be deposited in volunteer’s or parents’ personal accounts, nor
should it be kept in containers in the treasurer’s or volunteer’s or member’s house. The
club treasury is intended for use by the entire club and cannot be used by individual
members or volunteers.
• The treasurer must keep accurate records and report the status of the treasury at each
meeting. The Ohio 4-H Treasurer’s Book should be used to help maintain accurate
records. The treasurer’s report should be given at each meeting and the secretary’s
minutes should reflect action taken.
• Clubs can collect dues from members, in the amount voted on by the membership. Dues
cannot be set at amount more than what will be used for operational purposes during that
4-H year.11
The 4-H Committee collects “non-participation of fundraising” fees.
• 4-H clubs will be assessed by the 4-H Advisory Committee a fee: $15 per regular 4-H member
(8-18 yrs.) and $10 per Cloverbud (5-8 yrs.) enrolled by the deadline. Clubs must pay this by
June 1 in order for their 4-H members to complete their projects.
• All individual club fundraising projects must be approved by the 4-H Educator. If any project is
controversial, the volunteer will be asked to present their project ideas to the 4-H Educator
for approval. Lotteries and games of chance are not permitted.
• If a club dissolves, funds should be distributed evenly among ALL 4-H members or donated to
the Pike County 4-H Advisory Committee. The club also needs to contact the IRS to have the
EIN number cancelled.
Project Books: All 4-H members are required to complete a project book for each of their enrolled
projects. This includes ALL livestock species exhibitors. There are 3 experience levels for livestock
projects. These levels are determined by the exhibitor’s grade in school OR years of project
completion of the same species.
• Beginner level – ages 8-11 or first three years in the project.
• Intermediate level – ages 12-14, or fourth, fifth, or sixth year in the project.
• Senior level – ages 15-18, or seventh through eleventh year in the project.
Livestock project books are intended to be used throughout a member’s enrollment in each
species. This means the same project book can be used each year by completing the required
pages for the experience level of the member (see market animal project book requirements at
https://pike.osu.edu/program-areas/4-h-youth-development/livestockprojects), and a Pike
County Livestock Project Book Supplement - which can be picked up from the Pike County
Extension office. This supplement must be attached or inserted into the project book and be
presented at in-person judging.
• ALL 4-H market livestock MUST COMPLETE project book interviews each year.
• 4-H project books cost $6.00 each unless otherwise noted.
• Ohio State University requires a sales tax charge for project books if they are purchased by an
individual OR by the club WITHOUT a club check. If purchased in a 4-H club’s name, that 4-H
club is required to have a signed Blanket Certificate of Exemption on file at the Extension
Office. These forms are available at the Extension Office. When purchasing project books,
money will not be refunded.
• Project books must be completed at the time of project and project book judging for ALL 4-H
projects.

• 2nd place: 90 points
• 3rd place: 80 points
• 4th place: 70 points
• 5th place: 60 points
• 6th place: 50 points
• 7th place and below individuals will receive 40 points.
There will be a possibility of 300 points that a youth may score for the award. The points will be
evaluated as listed:
Total Points: 300
• 1/3 of the points: Skill-a-thon – 100 points
• 1/3 of the points: Class Placing – 100 points
• 1/3 of the points: Showmanship Placing – 100 points
The score of the Skill-a-thon test will be based on the correct number of answers. In case of a tie, the
tie-breaker committee will review the highest Skill-a-thon score; a second tiebreaker – the highest
showmanship placing; and a third tiebreaker – placing of the exhibitor’s highest placing animal.
There is no limit of how often a youth may win the award. There will be a winner from each age
division: Junior (8-11); Intermediate (12-14); and Senior (15-18). The Outstanding Exhibitor for each
species will be determined from the winners of these age divisions. The winner of this award will
be given an individual trophy. Swine winners will also receive a revolving trophy sponsored by the
Ron Pennington Family that the winner will keep until the following year.
All Animal Showmanship (AAS)
The winner of the Senior Showmanship classes in each species will automatically be entered in the All
Animal Showmanship competition provided they did not previously win AAS. In that case, the
second-place winner will show in AAS.
• Each senior showman will bring their animal to the MPB on Friday of the fair for the
AAS competition.
• The senior showman will have 3 minutes with each judge. When notified of time, each
showman will rotate to the next judge and animal.
