Everyone attending needs to read the following document:

Guidelines for Community Group Visits

We'd also like to pass along some tips about troops at hospitals. Whether you've trooped at a hospital before or not, it's well worth reading this. (Copied from the Rebel Legion)

When trooping a hospital visit please be mindful of photo taking. ASK before taking any photos with patients and make sure they are ok with it. And NEVER under any circumstances post those photos or full names or patients conditions/diagnosis in any public areas of the forum OR on facebook or other social media sites. If they initiate posting these things, that is their right and decision.

While it certainly brightens the day of those we see, many may not wish to have photos of them sick or dying or of sick or dying relatives publically posted on the internet. It's best to avoid taking photos at these events unless the patients request them.

These are some of our most rewarding troops but they can also be some of our hardest. Seeing Star Wars fans and other patients in various states of hardship, especially children, can be extremely heartbreaking.

Refrain from using any foul language or publically showing your tears and remorse. We're there to make them happy and give them an escape from their reality for a moment. If you meet an unexpected patient who brings you to tears, step away for a moment to let it out and regain composure before coming back into the room. You won't be less of a person for it.

Bringing Legion swag including patches, stickers, tattoos, trading cards, or extra toys we may have received from other events are GREAT to give out at children's hospitals to patients and their young siblings. Just something else to think about when attending or organizing a hospital troop.

Also, adults love us too, so don't forget to say hi to them while you are there, too. Veterans Hospitals have been great events for us as well.

If you even think that you may be sick please cancel. We can't afford to have any kids get sick because of us.

General Guidelines

*No candy, cell phones, photo cameras or video cameras (the hospital will tell us if there are any exceptions and only certain people will be allowed to do any photography or video recording)

Do's and Don'ts for interacting with the kids:

DO
*Stay with the guide and follow their lead. Not every child wants visitors.
*Introduce yourself.
*Smile.
*Crouch down to child's level
*Ask general questions or questions that relate to the visit. Do you like Star Wars? Does your bear have a name? Friendly questions
*Thank a child for letting you visit.
*End with a positive note.

DON'T
*Do not wander off on your own.
*Do not ask patients why they are in the hospital.
*Do not say, "Get well soon".
*Do not make promises you can not keep like "I will see you soon".
*Do not talk about your own hospital experience.
*Do not make religious references (like God will heal you).
*Do not use adult or medical humor.
*Do not make assumptions about a child's age or gender - illness can drastically change the way a child grows / looks. Be careful.
*Do not scold a child for their mood or behavior. Being in the hospital can be difficult and they have a reason to be in a bad mood."

If you are on the roster please pay attention to the proof of COVID vaccine deadline.  If not received you will be bumped off the roster.

If you are on standby I recommend send yours also in the event you get promoted to the roster.
