Project Linus is a nonprofit organization working with the UMC that provides handmade blankets to children in need, offering comfort, warmth, and a sense of security during difficult times.
Join us for a FUN, hands-on event that makes a real difference! Scouts will help those in need by creating traditional knotted fleece blankets, learning basic sewing techniques, and exploring a variety of blanket-making skills along the way. This is a great opportunity to give back, learn something new, and work together as a pack. For more info see Link1
