Program

The Fall Fun Rally program is not one to be missed. With more activities, events, trainings, and discussions that you have any chance in participating in, the Fall Fun Rally will definitely deliver a weekend not soon forgotten. Outlined below are some of the early programs we have scheduled. We’re still confirming other programs, and are still soliciting ideas.

If you have the greatest event, a resource, or just want to suggest an idea, check out the links to the right. The FFR leadership truly wants this to be an event celebrating all of Venturing, Sea Scouting, and Exploring. If you would like to be a part of it in a bigger way, let us know at the right. Units from all across the country are signing up to put on activities. You can too!

We’ll kick it off Friday with some great evening activities. 

Also on Friday is the Greater St. Louis Area Council VSOA Elections. Plan to have some great fun, all while getting settled in. 

Saturday (all day) we’ve got a ton of activities lined up. 

Saturday night, After dinner will be Religious Services (Catholic, Non-Denominational Christian, Jewish). Then we'll start up our evening show, awarding prizes for the different competitions, and have a video/slideshow of the weekend's events so far. We'll cap off the night with a Dance in the dining hall, a Movie outside, and a Board Game.  

Sunday morning will include Venturing and leadership trainings galore. We're also running a service project on Sunday, so plan to hang out with us either way till noon on Sunday.
