The Troop 24 Pancake Breakfast will take place Saturday, March 3rd. Please mark your calendars now, as all scouts are required to participate in this event (or set up on the Thursday before). If you have a conflict or time requests, please email pancakes@troop24riverside.com. Each scout must also sell 15 tickets, which were distributed at last night’s troop meeting. If you were unable to attend, your tickets will be mailed to you. Please read the enclosed instruction sheet, and note that ticket money is due on Thursday, February 15th.

Please keep the letter, which has your BSA number on it. You will receive an email later with information on how to log in to the Pancake Breakfast website, which will have your work assignment and instructions.

Thank you for your help with our troop’s largest fundraiser!

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, and those First Class or above scouts who want to work on the Communications Merit Badge. All scouts and volunteering adults should check the Pancake Breakfast website to confirm your job and shift. Here is the link: http://pancakes24.azurewebsites.net. 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 on the schedule to get to a PDF of instructions for that job). If you have not yet turned in your tickets sales money you MUST get it to Mr. Hosek immediately.
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.

Every year, we count on our fantastic parents to pitch in and help out with supervisory roles at the Pancake Breakfast, and to help with Setup the Thursday night before.
