Fall Fun Rally Celebrates St. Louis' Anniversary  2014 marks the 250th anniversary of St. Louis, and the theme of the Fall Fun Rally is "250 Years of Adventure." One of the city's founders was Rene Auguste Chouteau, only 14 years old at the time -- making him old enough to be a Venturer! So be like Chouteau and participate in adventurous events from the past, present, and future.
The Fall Fun Rally takes place Sept. 26-28 at Beaumont Scout Reservation, and registration is under way. Click here for more information or visit Facebook.
