Boy Scout Breakfast
By purchasing a couple hundred dollars worth of breakfast supplies, Rossville Lodge 318 assisted their local Boy Scout Troop earn money for their upcoming scouting activities. The lodge prepared the Biscuits and Gravy, eggs, fried potatoes and pancakes and the scout troop took care of all advertising, serving and clean up. The breakfast served 105 hungry patrons and after all the free will offerings were tallied, the Troop had earned $1124. The troop uses the money to camp each month and take high adventure trips.
