Scott has volunteered with 4-H for 21 years and has been involved with clubs in Webster and Lancaster Counties. He is currently organizational leader of the Happy Go Lucky 4-H club, which has a highway clean-up community service project. A member of the 4-H Livestock Production Booster Club, Scott was chair of the sub-committee which established the 4-H and FFA livestock premium auction at this year's Lancaster County Super Fair.
"4-H is the backbone organization of America," says Scott. "Coaching kids to be better people gives me great satisfaction. Helping develop skill sets at an early age is key to future achievements. I like to see kids succeed! My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is -- no doubt -- the premium auction at the 2010 fair. To see the look on the members face was priceless. I believe there is a sense of excitement around this auction, and I am proud to be a part of a great organization and event."
