08/09/15 SUN - Montgomery Fest Parade - Montgomery/60538
After how well we were received last year, the organizers reached out to me this year to make sure we could bring some Star Wars to the Montgomery Fest parade. Although the weather called for rain, we missed it. there was about 1 min rain, then sun and HUMIDITY, LOL. Once again the kids were very ex...

This was a last minute troop, and the host was extremely happy when i contacted her. I suited up in a back bedr...

Re: Hi from Naperville!
Hey Chills, welcome to the boards. You have quite a few of us around your neck of the woods. My only recommendation is, take your time. Find out what all is out there before deciding. When I was loking, I think i joined like 6 different detachment boards and read thru them before I ended up building...

My grandson Leo wanted to have some of his Star Wars friends and a few of his favorite characters out for his birthday. We had a great turn out, the kids had a blast, and my little birthday boy couldnt have been happier. We suited up and hung out with the kids up in the arcade at Funway. Once it was...

Re: Newly Approved Scout Trooper in IL
Welcome to the Garrison :thumbs: Where at western burbs? I live in Montgomery/Oswego, and there's a good number of us around here now. There is a few close troops coming up where you could get to meet a fair number of us in a more relaxed environment. http://www.midwestgarrison.com/forum/viewtopic.p...

Once again, were able to team up with Bugs Pals and the Siemek family, and spread a little Star wars cheer to the children and families at Advocate (Hope) Children's Hospital. This year we did not have a fund raiser/book drive, but none the less our members contributed enough books on our own to mak...

Re: The real adventure starts
Okay, something to past my time are just a few questions I can ask. For the E-11 blaster, is it the Kenner power of the force E-11 the one people use? If so, what would be the running price? So that I'm not just getting ripped off. Also I'm sure there is a thread, but is there a complete step by st...

Hey mwg! I've moved to Chicago- smack in the Loop- from Philly for school and I'm hoping to troop with you guys soon. I started building Zam Wesell two or three months ago and I'm about 1/4 of the way finished. It's very tricky but I'm having a lot of fun. Is anyone in IL already a Zammer? Anyway, ...
