Fireman Fair

Group outing to the local fire department open house or Fireman Fair. Scouts explore fire trucks, meet firefighters, and learn about fire safety in the community.

The Fireman Fair is a community event hosted by the local volunteer fire department, typically in September. Scouts attend in uniform to enjoy fire truck displays, equipment demonstrations, and hands-on fire safety activities. This event reinforces the fire safety curriculum in Cub Scout advancement requirements and builds relationships with community first responders. Confirm the event date with the local fire department each year.
