Blog: What Started 50 Years Ago and is Still Going Strong?

1963…First James Bond Movie is a hit (Dr. No, starring Sean Connery)…First Consumer Value Stores opens in Lowell, Mass (today known as CVS Pharmacy)…Soap Opera, General Hospital, debuted on ABC…Boy Scout Troop 127 serves its first Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast in Agoura Hills.

Please join the families of Troop 127 as they celebrate the longevity of their Troop and this special Mother’s Day tradition on Sunday, May 12^th anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at Malibou Lake Lodge on Lake Vista Drive in Malibou Lake.

The all-you-can-eat pancakes, eggs, ham and fruit costs only $5 per person due to the generous donations of many local merchants. Mothers are treated like royalty. And every ticket is eligible to win one of over 100 donated door prizes. Plus, you can purchase opportunity drawing tickets to win one of the many themed baskets the boys and parents have put together.

This breakfast is a total group effort. Everyone in the Troop works hard to ensure your experience will be memorable and enjoyable. A committee of Troop mothers works for months, leading up to Mother’s Day, gathering all the donations, assembling the baskets, and taking care of many many last minute details. Then these hardworking mothers sit back while the Troop fathers take over on the day of, running the kitchen, dining rooms, and parking lot while the scouts seat guests and serve the food.

Scouts will be selling tickets this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. in front of the Do-It Center in Agoura Hills (on Roadside Drive) and at the Do-It Center on Thousand Oaks Blvd. (across from the Auto Mall). Checks and cash are accepted and donations are tax-deductible. Or contact Julie King, Troop parent, at 818-889-1188 (juliejking@aol.com).

Help support a tradition that is thriving in our town. Money raised every year from this event funds summer camp scholarships and equipment needed for many events, including 25 overnight outings each year. Many boys have benefited and continue to benefit from scouting due to the generosity of our community and the dedication of many parents.
