SLAF Program Guide 2026

2026 RECyCLING INFORmaTION Bottle and Can Recycling The Saint Louis Art Fair presented by Emerson is excited to partner once again with local Scout troops and Cub Scout packs in the Art Fair’s recycling program. You can learn more about the importance of recycling by visiting the Scouting America booth in the Creative Castle. Help us lower our carbon footprint by recycling your bottles and cans in the designated recycling bins located throughout the festival site. For over 116 years, Scouting units in the Pathfinder District have had a long-standing Scouting tradition (Pattonville, Ritenour, Maplewood-Richmond Heights, Clayton, Ladue, and University City school districts and neighborhoods including Overland, Maryland Heights, Olivette, Maplewood, St. Anne, Bridgeton.) Scouting positively affects every area of a young person’s life by offering fun and active experiences to build character and leadership skills. Through service projects and community involvement, Scouts have the opportunity to develop confidence, self-reliance, character, and values that they’ll carry with them for a lifetime. A special thank you to our 2026 Scouting partners from the Pathfinder District of the Greater St. Louis Area Council. Scouting America is honored to collect American flags for a respectful Flag Retirement ceremony. Bring your worn or tattered flags to the Scouting America Recycling booth at the Saint Louis Art Fair presented by Emerson, and we’ll ensure they recieve a dignified retirement. Join us in this patriotic tradition and show your support for our nation’s symbol. You can find the Scouts in the Creative Castle on Forsyth Blvd. near Central on Saturday and Sunday.
