Southborough BSA Troop 1 will hold its 56th annual Pancake Breakfast a week from Sunday. And this year, they are promoting a raffle at the event.
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, March 30th from 8:00 am – 1:00 pm, they’ll be flipping and serving pancake. That takes place in the Neary School Cafeteria (53 Parkerville Road).
Scouts will also be serving up the usual assortment of meats, fruits 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! But they always have the traditional pancake syrup, too.)
Tickets for the breakfast 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 purchase them at Gulbankian Florist or the Senior Center. (Scouts will also be at the Transfer Station tomorrow, March 22nd.)
You can also pay by Venmo to @BSATroop1Sobo — but please note Pancake tickets in the memo and who they are for.
If you aren’t into pancakes, you can also always make a donation to the troop instead. But you might want to join them for the basket raffle.
I don’t have details on prices for those tickets, but the scouts have been promoting prizes at what appears to be a noon drawing. (Click on the flyer left.)
