Programs
Fall Fun Rally is a unique event. Many such programs would be put on by a
collection of staff. But one of the most unique parts of Fall Fun Rally is that
literally hundreds of people work together to put on the Fall Fun Rally, each
taking a small part. This makes for an entirely diverse collection of events.

Friday evening programs are sponsored by the Central Region Area 3 VOA.
Most events on Saturday are centered around the Camp May Scoutcraft field.
These events are largely organized by the Greater Saint Louis Area Council
Venturing and Sea Scout Officers’ Association, as well as some other VOAs from
other Councils. Each event is planned and executed by volunteers: youth and
adults from the different Crews, Ships, Posts who give part of their day to make
amazing program for all of us. The VSOA also coordinates bringing in multiple
other displays, activities, and programs throughout the day put on by different
people outside of Scouting. Finally, a great number of volunteers step forward
to run different programs including Shooting Sports, Climbing Tower, Mountain
Man Village, and STEM Area.

Most events are ‘walk up and do’ events with no advanced prep required.
Competitions are grouped together in this program as they will require some
preparation. Trainings are listed later in this book.

Programs, unless noted, are open to both youth and adult participants.

With all these events, information is constantly changing about the event. As
such, this booklet is current as of the date published, but will likely change prior
to the event. Updates will be announced at the Friday night meeting or
throughout the day via the field PA system.

Fall Fun Rally Color Run (8:00 AM) – Join in the fun as we kick off the activities
Saturday morning with a run through the Rally. The basic way a color run works
is the runners will run through multiple stations where friends wait to throw
clouds of color. The runners run through the clouds, and at the end come out
covered in colors of the rainbow. It’s a great fun run morning.

We’ll need runners and throwers for this event. If you want to run, meet up at
the parking area at the far end of the Lane Field (camping field) by 8:00 am
wearing a white t-shirt and other clothes you don’t might getting covered in
color.

If you want to throw color, we’ll have a limited amount of color available, but
you as a unit can also join in the fun from your campsite as they run by. Those
camping near the path through the field, or on the road in either Lane or
Shippey will be able to throw a cloud of color for our runners. Bring your own if
you want to throw from your campsite. Color run powder is available online at
retailers such as Amazon starting around $15.

Trainings
Fall Fun Rally has a ton of events you can walk up and do, but it also has a
bunch of trainings, discussions, and presentations you may want to attend.
These sessions are organized by the Central Region Area 3 Venturing Officers’
Association.

Most of these trainings are free, the exception being the Venturing Advisor and
Crew Committee training session. These trainings are $20 which includes the
Venturing Advisor Guidebook. If you bring a copy of the Guidebook to the
training, the cost is $5. Please note, a copy of the manual is required for the
training.

Most sessions are open sessions that anyone can attend with no signup
required. It is requested that you sign up for the Venturing Youth
Awards/Advancement Sessions and Adult Leader Training ahead of time so that
the trainers can adequately plan for the size of the training class. If you did not
signup for the training, you may do so at the registration desk if room remains.
