Welcome to the 39th Annual Fall Fun Rally! Since 1974 the Fall Fun Rally has been held at Beaumont Scout Reservation, one of the largest gatherings of Explorers, Sea Scouts and Venturers. If you ask some of the Advisors of the Fall Fun Rally in their youth, you’ll hear stories of thousands of Explorers gathered here, with one of the highlight events being helicopter rides. And though we can no longer give helicopter rides, the Fall Fun Rally has been growing over the last few years, drawing 700 - 800 participants each of the last couple years. In 2008 the Fall Fun Rally was the first designated Central Region Celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Venturing. In 2010, as the Centennial Year of Boy Scouts of America approached, the Greater St. Louis Area Council officers noticed there was something missing at the National level. The National Jamboree was to be the celebration for Boy Scouts, but there was none for Venturing, or for that matter, Sea Scouting or Exploring. So in the Fall of 2009, the VOA officers began the process of asking for the designation of the 2010 Fall Fun Rally as a national event. We were all pleasantly surprised, and then immediately overwhelmed, when the 2010 Fall fun Rally was officially designated the BSA Centennial Year Venturing Event! In 2010 we had participants from 10 states and 44 Councils across the country. We had attendees from Southern Florida, to the UP of Michigan, From New Jersey to Utah. At the final count we had a total of 1348 Venturers, Explorers, Sea Scouts and adult leaders in attendance. Whether this is your first Fall Fun Rally, or your 39th, whether you drove 10 minutes, or drove all day, we welcome you to this Fall Fun Rally. Enjoy yourself, meet some new friends, and make some memories. If you are lucky, you too will have some stories to share in 39 years.

FFR Junior Press Association

Hey everybody! Even though Fall Fun Rally is still a full summer away, the preparations are already in full swing so this can be the best Fall Fun Rally yet. This year at Fall Fun Rally we are hosting a new program called the, “FFR Junior Press Association”. This program is designed to introduce some aspects of photojournalism to the youth that participate. The program will entail going about your day as usual, but taking pictures while you are at it. In the afternoon, you will submit your photos to the FFR staff to be used in a post-FFR newsletter and the Saturday night slideshow. You will also have the chance to write a small article that will go in the newsletter. While participating, you will have the chance to converse and ask questions with some of the professional photographers you see taking photos at Fall Fun Rally every year! If you are interested in joining this program email Ryan at ryanm40@gmail.com. In the email, include your full name (first and last), your hometown and state, your crew number and council, and your phone number. At the end of the summer, we will email everybody who signed up a manual with information in it about your position on the Fall Fun Rally Press. This is shaping up to be a great program so come and join us!

VOA ElectionsThe Greater St. Louis Area Council Venturing Officers’ Association is the elected leadership for the Venturing Program in the Council. All Crew and Ship Officers are members of the VOA. In addition, there are elected officers at the District and Council levels. Both of these elections will take place this weekend. The VOA is responsible for the great programs that you see at the District and Council levels, including events like the Fall Fun Rally. They also organize youth trainings and help the communication between units and the Council.Last year eight Districts had elected officers, and this year, with your help, we will again.

Whether it be the Council or the District, each will elect the same four officers. (Districts may also elect additional ones). These four would be the President, Vice President of Administration, Vice President of Program, and Vice President of Communication. All four are critical to the functioning of the VOA, and each is an important part that you could play in the Venturing program in St. Louis.

Council Elections The Council VOA Elections will be Friday at 8:00 PM at Hogwarts. For each office, nomination of candidates will be taken from the people gathered, followed by speeches and voting. Every Crew or ship in attendance will receive three votes which may be split amongst any of the candidates or cast for only one candidate. After the winner is announced, the process will be repeated for each of the other offices. Candidates are allowed to “drop down” to the next office and run again.
