⚾🌟 Volunteers Needed for Miracle League! 🌟⚾

The YMCA is getting ready for another exciting season of Miracle League, and they need amazing volunteers to help make it a memorable experience for their players!

Miracle League gives children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment. Their volunteers are the heart of the program, helping players around the bases, cheering from the sidelines, assisting with games, and making sure every participant feels like a superstar.

❤️ No baseball experience required! All you need is a positive attitude, a willingness to help, and a desire to make a difference in someone's life.

This is a fantastic opportunity for students, families, organizations, and community members to serve together while creating unforgettable memories.

Join the Miracle League family this season and help the YMCA bring smiles, encouragement, and excitement to the ballpark!

Here is a short video of what Miracle League looks like:

How can your Cub Scouts connect with Scouts in 170 countries—without leaving home? Join us to learn all about Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTA/JOTI)!
Held each year on the third full weekend of October, JOTA/JOTI is an international Scouting event that brings Scouts together through amateur radio and the internet. It’s an exciting opportunity for Cub Scouts to discover other cultures, learn how Scouting is different—and the same—around the world, and experience the global Scouting community firsthand.
Ruth Barnes Shaw joins us to share how JOTA/JOTI works and how your pack can get involved.
Whether you’re a longtime JOTA/JOTI participant or have never heard of it before, tune in to discover how you can open a whole world of Scouting to your Cub Scouts!
