3/7 - Annual Troop 269 Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser!
|
|
|
Niles Troop 269’s Annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser on March 7th from 8am to noon at the Veteran's Memorial Building at Niles is a long-standing community tradition that combines service, learning, and togetherness. The event helps scouts practice thriftiness, with 60 percent of each $15 ticket, or $9, going directly into individual scout accounts to support summer camps, high-adventure trips, and other scouting activities.
|
The breakfast also offers scouts valuable hands-on experience in planning, cooking, and serving, building teamwork and leadership skills that guests consistently praise for their professionalism and enthusiasm. This year’s event falls on the eve of International Women’s Day, and all women attendees will be treated to one complimentary food or beverage item of their choice, adding a special note of celebration to the morning.’
