Southborough BSA Troop 1 will hold its 55th annual Pancake Breakfast this spring. While the event is more than a month away, the scouts are already starting to hit the streets to sell tickets. (You’ll also find them many weekends at the Transfer Station.)
The community breakfast is Troop 1’s primary annual fundraiser. Proceeds from the event support the Boy Scouts’ activities like camping, hiking, and community service projects.
On Sunday, April 7th, they’ll be flipping and serving pancake. That takes place in the Neary School Cafeteria (53 Parkerville Road).
Scouts will be serving up the usual assortment of meats and beverages.
Pancakes can be topped with traditional pancake syrup. Or you can hit the toppings bar. (Years ago, my kids’ loaded up plates tended to look more like make your own sundaes than a breakfast!)
Tickets cost $7 for adults or $4 for seniors and kids ages 6-12. Children 5 and under eat for free and there’s a maximum cost of $20 per household.
If between now and then, you don’t get the opportunity to buy directly from a troop member, you can buy tickets at the event or pay by Venmo to @BSATroop1Sobo — but please note Pancakes in the memo (and, if you are using Venmo to buy from a scout, please also include their name).
If you aren’t into pancakes, you can also always make a donation to the troop instead.
