Many Junior League chapters have waived their upper age limit precisesly because there are so many potentially valuable members just like you,who have postponed membership because of the demands of education, work and familiy. Houston does seem to still have one, however I am unclear just what it is. They also have a three year residency requirement. In addition to these requirements, they have a sponsored admissions process that requires your name be proposed by three current members of JLH. While volunteering for Scouts and your church have you had the opportunity to meet other Junior League members? That is frequently the best bet if you don't have any friends or family who can propose your name for membership.
Of course your other volunteer positions count and that will be exactly the kind of thing they will look for. Keep in mind though, that if you join you will have volunteer obligations specific to Junior League.
I know all of this sounds intimidating but if you are successful in joining I think you will find it to be a wonderful experience. Junior League membership can be demanding, but I always find I get more out of it than I put in! I understand the Houston chapter is awesome!
Do as the other posters have suggested and check out their website for membership information. Their membership chair can give you better information than we can. Let us know what happens, and good luck!
