In addition to Thanksgiving, November is also remembered as Troop 160’s French Toast Breakfast.
Troop 160 held its annual French Toast Breakfast at the Clarks Summit United Methodist Church Nov. 13. Troop 160 has been a troop for 80 years, and for as long as I can remember, we have been performing the breakfast. This is our main fundraiser and this year we had a great turnout. We plan weeks in advance by obtaining food and selling the tickets. We set up the room Friday night and began working on Saturday at 5:30 a.m. ’til the late afternoon. We served French Toast, eggs, bacon and ham. We cooked 150 pounds of bacon and approximately eight hams.
Also this month we had a campout at Goose Pond Scout Reservation. This campout was designed for scouts to earn the Tracking merit badge. The Tracking merit badge is one of the historical merit badges only available this year. Also at this campout we did strictly patrol cooking. This campout was special because the patrols planned, bought and cooked their own meals.
I would like to thank the businesses that supported our French Toast breakfast, the people who dined at our breakfast and the scouts who worked the breakfast. Remember, a scout is helpful.
