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.

First Class or above scouts interested in working on the communications merit badge can begin work with Mr. Jerz and Ms. Murphy on Thursday, March 2 at 7pm at RPC.  For this meeting, please print out the merit badge work sheet (attached below) and complete requirements 1 (a, b or c) and 9.  In addition, if you have planned and served as master of ceremonies at a troop court of honor, blue & gold or campfire program, be prepared to discuss what you did to fulfill requirement 8.

• Merit Badge Worksheet: Communication MB Worksheet
• BSA Booklet: Comm MB Booklet

We will also work on this merit badge at the March 9 troop meeting.

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.

To sign up for a shift, log on to the Troop 24 Pancake Breakfast website at http://pancakes24.azurewebsites.net

If you haven’t signed in before, click on the Register as a New User link on the log in page. You will be asked for your name, email and a password. This will allow you to access the Adult Volunteer page that includes a link to the Adult Volunteer Work Schedule.

If you have done a particular job before, please sign up for it again if you can. We value your experience. If you can sign up for more than one shift, please feel free to do that as well.

Click the link for the Adult Volunteer Work Schedule. You will see the Shift Grid. Click on any shift marked as AVAILABLE and your name will appear in that spot. That’s it. You’re signed up. Now click on the job name you signed up for to view a PDF with instructions on doing the job you signed up for.

If you click the wrong shift, or too many, click the [X] button next to your name in the shift box and it will be erased.

Note: There are 2 tabs at the top of the schedule. The Adult Volunteer Work Schedule defaults to the day of the Pancake Breakfast (Sat Mar 4th). But if you cannot work the day of the Pancake Breakfast, click the Setup (Thu Mar 2nd) tab and sign up for that. If there is not a shift available, or you cannot work any of the times left, please send an email to Pancakes@Troop24Riverside.com so we can try to work out a way for you to help. ALSO, WE MAY CHANGE YOUR ASSIGNED JOB IF NEEDED. Any changes should be finalized by Feb 28th, so make sure you check back then.

All Scouts are required to sign up for a shift at the pancake breakfast. If you have a parent’s excuse for not being able to work on Saturday, you can help with Setup on Thursday.
