Scorecard for Rating Your 4-H Club Meeting
This scorecard is designed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a 4-H club meeting. Score by
checking yes or no to the statement. This may be done several months in a row and kept with the
secretary’s minutes. This would be a great opportunity to use a junior leader to do the scoring. Establish a
youth committee to help improve the no answers.
