eagle90 125 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Our troop designates a portion of our Pancake Breakfast proceeds to a charitable cause each year. We have supported local hospitalized children, Little Sioux Scout camp after their tornado, the Boy Scouts of Haiti, Tornado relief in Washington, IL., the Colorado Wildfires,etc. Customers even ask us now where we are donating some of our profits.
