What to Do...
Program, the Reason to Be There
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 the National event. If you would like to be a part of it in a bigger way, let us know at the right. Crews 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. There will be some sort of game night, a movie, and other activities. (We’re still nailing down the specifics). Also on Friday is the Greater St. Louis Area Council VOA Elections. Plan to have some great fun, all while getting settled in.
Saturday (all day) and Sunday (morning) we’ve got a ton of activities lined up. Check them out below.
Saturday night, we’ll have our closing ceremony and evening show.
Fun...After All, it in the Name
The Fall Fun Rally starts with some great events put on by our Venturing Officers’ Association (VOA). Most of these events is planned by one of the District VOAs and staffed by crews from throughout the council. Others are staffed by volunteers from our Council who enjoy showing off for the Venturers and Explorers.
