There are a few scouts who still have not turned in their Pancake Breakfast ticket money. Tickets sales were mandatory for all Troop 24 Boy Scouts. We need all scouts to make sure their $75 has been turned in no later than this Thursday. You may bring the ticket money to the Troop meeting or to Nina Henderson at 216 Olmsted Road in Riverside. Place the money (check or cash) in an envelope marked with “Pancake Breakfast Money” and your name.
Thank you!

Great job everyone on another fun and successful Pancake Breakfast. We served 695 customers! A giant shout out to our master planner and coordinator Rich Hosek – fantastic work! Thanks to all our adult volunteers who helped with shopping and set up to clean up and everything in between. Thanks to our incredible community including Riverside Presbyterian Church, the local businesses who donated to our program, and our pancake eating supporters – we definitely felt your love! But most of all, thank you to our loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, cheerful scouts who all stepped in with a smile to run an amazing pancake breakfast!

The Pancake Breakfast is this Saturday, March 2nd, from 7am to 1pm.

There is no regular troop meeting this Thursday due to Pancake Breakfast set up. The only scouts who need to attend are those assigned to set up.

All scouts and volunteering adults should check the Pancake Breakfast website to confirm your job and shift. You will need your scout BSA number to log in (email pancakes@troop24riverside or committeechair@troop24riverside.com if you lost your number). A few changes were made to ensure everyone has a job and that all shifts are covered. You should also review the instructions for your job ahead of time (click on the job title in blue on the left hand side of the schedule to get to a PDF of instructions for that job). If you have not yet turned in your ticket sales money you MUST get it to Mr. Hosek immediately. You can turn ticket money in at set up or deliver to 216 Olmsted.

On Saturday, scouts and volunteering adults must wear Class A scout uniform (no scarf or sash). You may wear jeans, but not shorts or athletic pants. If you have a scout hat, you should wear it, otherwise kitchen workers will be required to wear a paper cap. Please arrive a few minutes early! Any questions, email pancakes@troop24riverside.com.

Troop 24’s Pancake Breakfast is this Saturday, March 2nd, from 7am to 1pm!!

There are still a few Adult Volunteer jobs available for the Day Of the Pancake Breakfast. Please register and sign up at http://everyyear.org to volunteer.

The Scouts listed below have NOT yet registered for jobs for the Pancake Breakfast. Please do so or a job will be assigned to you. Anyone who has not turned in ticket money, please deliver to 216 Olmsted or bring it to the Setup Thursday Night. Ticket sales are mandatory for Troop 24 Scouts!

Please direct any questions regarding signing up, excuses for Day Of requirement and Removal of Age Restrictions to Pancakes@Troop24Riverside.com.

We especially need older scouts for the cooking jobs. If you think you can handle a cooking job, but it tells you don’t meet the age requirement, let me know and I’ll check with the Scoutmasters to make sure it’s okay. ALSO, we will need scouts to volunteer for setup this Thursday Night. So, even if you have a Saturday job, you can sign up for a slot on Thursday as well. Scouts can sign up for their shift or check their shift at http://everyyear.org. Email Pancakes@Troop24Riverside.com if you forgot your BSA number which is needed to log in.

NOTE: If we don’t have all shifts filled, you may find yourself working a different job than you thought, but at the same time. If we have to make a change, I will be sure to let you know ahead of time.

All Pancake Breakfast Tickets have been distributed. If you were not at the Troop Meeting to collect them, they were mailed to you. If you have not received your tickets in the mail by January 26th, please contact Rich Hosek at pancakes@troop24riverside.com.

Each Scout is responsible for selling 15 tickets for a total of $75. Money can be delivered to Ms. Henderson at 216 Olmsted, or bring it to a Troop Meeting.

Ticket money is due February 14th. If you have not sold all the tickets by then, you can buy them yourself and then continue trying to sell them after that point. If you need MORE tickets to sell, please let me know.

Inside your ticket packet was a slip of paper with your BSA# on it. DO NOT LOSE THIS. Read it carefully. You will need it in the coming weeks to sign up for a work shift. You CANNOT sign up yet, there will be a Feedblitz message in the future that will instruct you how to sign up for work shifts later, but as a reminder, in addition to selling the tickets, you are required to work the day of the Pancake Breakfast, March 2nd. If there is some family or school conflict, please contact me as soon as possible so I can allow you to sign up for Setup on February 28th.

Please email any questions to pancakes@troop24riverside.com

Please remember that there is NO regular troop meeting tonight. We will be setting up for the Pancake Breakfast, so only scouts and adults who have volunteered for set up need to attend.

All scouts MUST work a shift to help with this fundraiser. Scouts and volunteering adults can check their work assignments on the Pancake Breakfast website to make sure that they can work the times they volunteered for and/or were assigned. Here are the links:

Thank you to everyone who sold tickets and turned in their money for the pancake breakfast. If you have not yet turned in ticket money, please follow the instructions on your envelope to turn it in ASAP. Scouts who did not sign up for a shift will been assigned one. You can check the scout pancake breakfast schedule at http://everyyear.org/workschedule/scouts

We are still in need of a few more adult volunteers. If you haven’t signed up, and you are available for all or part of the day, please do so. Don’t be afraid to take on any job, there will be a lot of people there to get you started. The Kitchen Supervisor slot is open, but simply requires that you make sure everything is running smoothly and everyone has what they need. You don’t have to be a pancake chef. We also need some help in the dish room, coffee and juice stations and someone to sit at the cash table the latter half of the day. If you have any questions, please contact Rich Hosek at pancakes@troop24riverside.com. The link to volunteer is at http://everyyear.org/workschedule/adults

We are going to be placing yard signs around town this weekend. If you’re willing to host a sign in your yard, especially if you live in a high traffic area, please email pancakes@troop24riverside.com and we’ll get a sign out to you.
