Newly Approved Scout Trooper in IL

Post by scout.trooper »

Hello! I just received my letter of approval for my scout trooper and am now a full-fledged 501st member! I am very excited to be a member and can't wait to get involved with fundraising/charity events. Can anyone get me pointed in the right direction, like how do I see what events are available and how to sign up for them? (I went though all the intro posts and might've missed these instructions). Thanks!
See you out there, troopers!

Hello! If you check the forums as you are upgraded to 501st MWG membership you'll see the Event's area where you can sign up for events.
Also what area if Illinois are you in? I know sometimes that helps with getting word to/from on where a member is located.

:bucketsoff: See you on the field Biker Scout & have fun trooping.

I'm from the western suburbs outside of Chicago. If anyone's in the area and wants to tell me what to expect when trooping, let me know!

I checked out the "Events" section but only see approx. 4 postings for 2014 while there are dozens of current event announcements on the main MWG site (not the forums). Does anyone know why this is and how I can sign up for some events this month or next month?

Event Planning is where you want to look. It lists all the events that are currently up and running and looking for troopers. All relevant info for the troop would be listed in the first post.

viewforum.php?f=70

If you have any questions about the troop, just post a comment. Nice and easy!

Welcome, and hope to see you out and about. We do a ton of events in the NW and West burbs!

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.

Thanks, SL9965!

Hey, Woulf,
I'm in the Naperville/Bolingbrook area, so not too far away from you in Montgomery/Oswego. Thanks for the links... I took a look and I'm going to try and jump on as many as I can!

Hi Allison!
I already ran into you on the 501st Legion forums, but I thought I ought to say "Hi!" again here in our playground. :D
Glad to see you diving in already!
We've got a lot of events for Star Wars Reads Day coming up next month. (Many of which need event coordinators! *hint-hint troops! ;) )
Considerably sooner (this Saturday!), if you can make it down to Joliet, the Family Fun Day is always a good troop!

Hey, Brian! Thanks for your help on the 501st forums... I got a hold of both Legion members you suggested and they were very helpful. I look forward to seeing you in future events! (I did sign up for the SW Reads Day, but I guess we don't have an event coordinator yet...?)
