ONLY FOUR ST. LOUIS ART FAIR UNIT VOLUNTEER TIME SLOTS REMAINING!!
THANK YOU Pack 400, Pack 499, Pack 591, Troop 21, Troop 21G, Troop 344!!
For the third year in a row, the Scouts of the Pathfinder District have been given the opportunity to serve our community and promote Scouting at the 2025 St. Louis Art Fair that is held in downtown Clayton on Friday, September 5 – Sunday, September 7.
The St. Louis Art Fair has been in operation for 32 years and nearly 200,000 people including 1,500 children visit the art fair each year!
The St. Louis Art Fair in conjunction with Republic Services wants us to encourage recycling at the art fairβs Creative Castle area. The Creative Castle section of the art fair is where children visiting the fair can participate in various arts & crafts and other activities. We have a prime booth location at the entrance to the Creative Castle near the intersection of Forsyth Blvd and North Central Ave by the Starbucks. At the booth, we will distribute information on recycling that is provided by Republic Services, be Scouting ambassadors to art fair attendees who might be looking to reconnect with and/or have questions about Scouting, collect US flags that need to be retired, and engage with children and their parents while promoting Scouting membership within the Pathfinder District and GSLAC at-large.
Last year, Scouts and adults from multiple Packs and Troops had a blast at the Scouting booth and the art fair. It was also a very successful recruiting event. Now it is your turn to join the fun while giving back!
The time commitment is only 2 hours and then you can go enjoy the art fair! Each 2-hour slots needs 4-6 Scouts and 4-6 adults. Each volunteer (Scout and adult) needs to register directly with the St. Louis Art Fair. Slots are on a first-come, first-served basis.
