Tips on the Junior Report Form Summary
This summary is for your junior members ages 8 – 13 years and is cumulative so that you need only add on each year. When you reach the senior age category (14-19 years old), you are to use the National Report Form. The junior summary will help you complete the National Report Form.
Begin the junior summary with the first year, and add the current year onto the end of each sheet. If you are in more than one club, you should still only complete one report form, listing all of your clubs on it.
Use the same color of ink through out (Black or blue is best) Be consistent and neat.
