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.

Thanks so much - I thought I'd done ten, then on countback, remembered one was as a handler, so the elusive 10 Badge will have to wait a few more weeks. Much appreciated!
