Cub Scouts Program:

During the 2002-2003 season, GMTTC had a partnership with a local Cub Scouts Troop. At the time it was only the second club in the nation to have such a program! Its success introduced many new kids to the game of Ping Pong. At its conclusion, each Cub Scout was given a certificate by GMTTC recognizing their understanding of the game and accomplishment.

Below is documentation of the program:
