Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts invite the community to their Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, May 17. The event will be held at Aubrey’s, 481 S. Illinois Ave. from 8 to 10 a.m.

Guests will be greeted with “Brownie Smiles” and will enjoy stacks of fresh pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Special servers are the girl hostesses for the Japanese Girl Scouts from our sister city, Naka, Japan. Twelve Japanese Girl Scouts and leaders will be visiting Oak Ridge from July 28-Aug. 2. During this visit, the Naka girls and their hostesses will camp at GS Camp Tanasi and earn the Secret City Heritage patch.

Pancake breakfast tickets are $5 each. Proceeds benefit the Oak Ridge GS service unit and the Naka Girl Scout visit. To purchase tickets, call (865) 483-3958. Tickets will also be available at the door.
