Volunteers for five years, the Scotts help lead the Jolly Ranchers 4-H club and are co-superintendents of the 4-H/FFA Sheep Show at the Lancaster County Super Fair. They also contribute by helping with sheep weigh-ins, hosting practices for livestock judging teams and volunteering at the 4-H Food Booth at Super Fair. Last year, they helped with Lancaster County 4-H's community service project of painting trash cans for the Lancaster Event Center. The Scotts are active members of the Livestock Booster Club and also sponsor trophies for the Super Fair.
The Scotts say, "We believe in the opportunities that 4-H provides kids to gain confidence as they experience success. The lessons the kids learn in 4-H will help them for the remainder of their lives. Our favorite experience as 4-H volunteers are helping as sheep superintendents at the Super Fair. Helping around the ring is always a lot of fun. Plus, it's always fun to watch the kids continue to improve and gain confidence as they grow."
