This catalog is your guide to ordering each learning resource, and a place to record your curriculum needs for the year. When you are ready to purchase a resource, use that vendor’s ordering system (listed below). Information may change, so periodically check back to this page for the latest version. Note that the catalog is only available as an MS Excel document. When you want to print a copy, use File/Print and not the printer icon. Change the print selection to “Entire Workbook” or you will only get part of the catalog.
All of the Wisconsin 4-H publications, forms and certificates are also available on the 4-H web site as downloadable .pdf files, so you can print your own copies (see URL addresses in the document). This catalog will be updated as needed and a notification e-mail will be sent that a revised version is posted on the 4-H web site.
