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. FFR 2019 – Programs Page 2 9/16/19
