Fall Fun Rally - September 28-30, 2012
Welcome to the 39th annual Fall Fun Rally! The Nation’s largest gathering of Venturers annually!
At this event you will meet fellow Venturers and Advisors from all around the country as they come to enjoy the Greater St. Louis Area’s facilities. This is an event where you will be able to set up camp with your Crew in large camporee style fields and then participate in many, many different activities. There are usually over 100 different events and activities to keep you busy all weekend, for instance: military and police demonstrations, slacklining, medieval combat with padded weapons, and a mountain man rendezvous. This year since the Fall Fun Rally has a Harry Potter theme there will also be a Quidditch tournament, and a horcrux scavenger hunt. In addition to the events and activities that the Crews put on, there also all of the facilities that Beaumont has to offer, such as Mud Cave, the climbing tower, shooting sports, and horses. On Saturday night after the closing show come back to the Emerson Center where you will rock the house at the Yule Ball.
