Slouch[TK] Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 (edited) Hi all - getting a start on my troop log before I lose track. After getting approved in April, I managed to knock over a handful of troops within my first few weeks with all the May the Fourth festivities. My first troop was something I'll never forget - I had the biggest grin under my bucket. I couldn't believe I'd achieved a childhood dream. The most rewarding to date was attending the Royal Children's Hospital and helping to cheer up some pretty sick kids (and their parents). It was (emotionally) tougher than I expected, but something I'm so proud of the Legion for being involved in. I've trooped with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra a few times now and get such a kick out of it. I've got a handful more troops booked in before the end of the year. My local garrison has been awesome and so welcoming, so I look forward to giving back in any way I can. Here's some pics and details of my troops. I give permission for FISD to repost my photos on social media in an appropriate fashion. Troops 1 & 2 Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - ROTJ (19th, 23rd April) Troop 3 - Disney Open Call shopping centre appearance (27th April) Troop 4 - Melbourne Children's Hospital (3rd May) Troop 5 - Lego Store and Shopping Centre appearance (got my bucket on TV with the host of Lego Masters as a bonus) (May 4th) Troop 6 & 7 Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - ROTJ Encore Screenings (6th, 7th June) Troop 8 - Lightscape Photo shoot (28th July) ***Photos courtesy of Amanda Lee Starkey Photography Troop 9 - Early Learning Centre Book Week - (21st August) Troop 10 (Milestone!) - Croxton Special School Book Week (10th September) Edited September 10 by Slouch Broken imgur links 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
