I will be there in my newly approved ANH Stunt TK. My 16 year old son Liam and 12 year old daughter Bella will be with me and are very responsible. My question is my son built a Mando costume and although not a canon character it is very well done and I would say "Parade ready" can he participate with us in costume and hang out with me? Yes, I know there is the "Mandalorian Mercs" which are their own separate club but he's really proud of his costume and would like to wear it if possible. (I have to do my daddy duties and at least ask, especially since I am brand new and this is my first troop!)
If not he would still be okay with being a spotter. We can also bring a "little red wagon" decorated SW style to collect any items that may get away from people during the route.
Thanks for your consideration.

Hi, Jim. We typically need our spotters to be at least 18 years old. For this event I've pushed that to 15-16, but really do need to keep the age requirement there. So, 12 is pretty young to be a spotter at a parade due to the sometimes unruly nature of the crowd and that the spotters are sometimes the "bouncers" of the parade. So, I can't sign up your daughter. I hope you understand
As far as your son wearing his Mando armor, you'd need to run that by the event coordinators & and COs. I'd reach out to them in the general event thread.
