Camping

Your crew, post, or even older Scout patrol (Venturing Age) can attend camp out for the weekend like you would at any of those other events. Units are welcome to build ground fires or cook on a pressurized fuel stove. Water is available at spigots in the field. The field has traditional latrines. A short walk away are the showers at the pool. Ground fires for cooking or for evening campsite entertainment are allowed with dead wood from the property or your own firewood.

Fall Fun Rally Basics

    Date:       September 24-26, 2010

    Cost:       $15 includes camping, most activities, and a T-Shirt

   Who:       Venturers, Explorers, and Older Scouts (Venturing Age)

    Where:    Beaumont Scout Reservation (Outside Saint Louis, MO)

The Fall Fun Rally may seem simple enough. I some ways its your basic multi-crew campout. Like many District or even Council campouts, most people will stay in campsites in one of the Camporee fields of Beaumont. There will be activities from Friday Evening to Sunday Morning.

What separates the Fall Fun Rally is that the largest gathering of Venturers annually (also the largest outdoor Venturing and Exploring event), drawing over 700 people for the last few years.  This year we’re planning for over 1500. And you might guess there will be activities to match. Its the sheer size, as well as the quality of the program that sets apart the Fall Fun Rally from other events. This year, the Fall Fun Rally is the BSA Centennial Year National Venturing Event.

Hotels

For those of your coming from farther away or if you don’t want to camp for the weekend, we’ll also be setting up some blocks of rooms at nearby hotels. If you want to book some on your own before then, check out the nearby hotels of Valley Park and Eureka.

Food and Eats

Most units in past years have brought their own food and cooked at their campsite.  This year there will also be an option to purchase prepared food at the event for a reasonable additional cost. Look for more details to come out on this later.
