Pancake Breakfast 2017 Sales Goals & Requirements Troop Sales Goal: $18,000 Scout Sales Goal: $400 Why have a sales goal? The Pancake Breakfast is our only required fundraiser and it helps us purchase needed camping equipment, attend the various campouts, maintain our trailer and purchase badges and patches. The success of each scout is significant in our efforts to help our troop run smoothly.

Scout Minimum Requirements Tier 1: Total sales of $399 or less Scout must participate/work four sales sessions of which one must be a Saturday or Sunday troop sales session. Scout must work the day of the Pancake Breakfast, December 2, 2017, 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tier 2: Total sales of $400 or more Scout must participate/work one Saturday or Sunday troop sales session.

Sales Session Types FF = Friends & Family. Each $50 increment in ticket sales to friends, family, teachers, neighbors, etc. counts as one sales session. SS = A three hour selling session offered by Troop 75 on Saturdays and select Sundays beginning on September 16 and continuing for 10 weeks, ending on November 18. Each three hour selling session counts as one sales session regardless of the amount of tickets sold. Typically, a Scout may earn $35 - $160 during each three hour sales session. AD = Business Ad on placemat. Every $50 counts as one sales session. A small ad is $25; large ads are $50. Combo: You can combine a $25 Ad and $25 FF to count as one sales session.

What’s in it for the Scout? 20% of the first $200 in sales and 40% of all sales above $201 go into your scout account. Use funds to pay for camping trips, high adventure trips and re-charter fees. Scouts that meet the minimum requirements pay a lower re-charter fee. Highest overall seller each Saturday may arrive at 7 a.m. (1 hour later) the day of the breakfast and enjoy breakfast with the top sellers. Highest a.m. & p.m. seller each Saturday receives a small prize such as candy at the following Troop meeting.
