Fall Festival is an action exhibit oriented “Trade Show” where
your unit will be able to feature its talents and skills.
In selecting your unit’s theme you’ll want to choose one that's
fun and interesting to your members and best demonstrates your
unit. Once you have selected a theme or display, please
complete a participation application and return the form to
the Council Service Center.
Your exhibit area will be outdoors with space
allocations of 20’ X 30” open area. You may construct
your own or use tables to mark your area.
Each unit should post signs listing the unit
sponsor, leaders, community, and theme of your exhibit.
The booths should be manned from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm by youth
supervised by adults.
All exhibits should be set to open promptly
at 10:00 am and remain open until the event closing at 2:00
pm. Tear down should begin at 2:00 pm. Vehicles
will be allowed to drive near the sites. Plan to bring
a wagon, cart, or hand truck to assist your set up and take
down.
Don’t forget to bring all materials for your exhibit
including, tape, nails, hammer, markers, plastic, string, etc.
For safety considerations: a first aid station will be
on site with qualified adults. No open fires are allowed
in the area. If you require them for your display, plan
for a safe friendly fire and provide appropriate extinguishers.
No weapons should be utilized. Bicycles, skateboards and
roller-skate use is discouraged. Adults must closely supervise
activities involving projectiles or which are considered to
have elements of danger involved.

Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII. Catholic Boy Scout religious recognition
