Thursday, 07/20: Loyal
Scripture
Job 23:11 – “My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.”
Thought for the Day
Loyalty is more complicated than it seems on the surface. It can apply to a country, an organization, a school, a church, your unit, or your patrol. On an individual basis, loyalty describes an ideal bond held by two friends. You are probably familiar with the saying, “I’ve got your back.” True and meaningful loyalty goes way beyond this. Covering for someone else’s mistakes or wrongdoing, even if he or she is a good friend is not loyalty. Loyalty is better expressed by the saying, “I’ll be there for you.” Mistakes have consequences, but a loyal friend is there to help walk their friend through those consequences. A loyal friend is one you could call at 2:30 in the morning to help you work something out or just talk through a serious problem. A loyal friend will not abandon his or her friend in times of trouble and will give them the benefit of the doubt when there is conflict.
Loyalty is a two-way street, and it won’t always be easy. In today’s Scripture passage, Job is explaining to his snarky friends, Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar that he remained loyal to God despite a lot of bad things that had happened to him. His friends claimed God did those things because Job had sinned and had not confessed his sin to God. Despite his confusion over what had happened (and a lot, had happened to poor Job) Job’s loyalty to God never wavered. He “held fast to God’s path, kept His way and not turned aside.” Job, by faith, knew God would never leave, nor forsake him. Job’s faith told him though there would always be trouble in the world, God would loyally go in and through the trouble with him. God was in the lion’s den with Daniel. God was in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. God went through the valley of the shadow of death with David. Loyalty will make demands on you, but the measure of your loyalty will be how well you meet those demands to walk alongside your friend.
Questions for Discussion

“Social media” was promoted as a tool to bring people together, but people today have fewer genuinely close and loyal friends than at any time in our recent history. Who can you count among your closest and most loyal friends?
How do you demonstrate your loyalty to Scouting in your school and/or social context?

Prayer
Good and gracious God, teach me, I pray, to be a loyal friend. Allow me to be the one who others can count on in good times and in bad. Use me to inspire loyalty in others. A Scout is loyal. Amen.

2023-07-20 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | Alumni Adventure Complex
Alumni Communities: (Affiliate Groups, Affinity Groups, and BSA Partners)
The BSA Alumni Association has developed its Alumni Relations Exhibit specifically to help dispel the notion that Scouting ends at 18 years of age. Historically, when Scouts go off to college, military careers, and various other occupations, many never return to the Scouting program…or when they do, it’s not until their own children enter the program. As such, the BSA Alumni Association has developed an umbrella of Alumni Communities to serve as connection points to keep Scouts engaged. Whether it’s NESA, the OA Alliance, ATAS, Health Care Professions, Educators, Firefighters, High Adventure Base Staff Associations, etc., be sure to stop by and see what connections you find interesting.

8:00AM-4:00PM: High Adventure Bases at Alumni Adventure Complex
2023-07-20 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | Alumni Adventure Complex

Philmont, Summit, Sea Base, and Northern Tier will all be inviting Jamboree participants and visitors to attend their bases, to consider serving on their staffs, and to join their staff associations. So, stop on by to see what High Adventure awaits you.

12:00PM-5:00PM: Radio Engineering
2023-07-20 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Exhibit #1: Listen to an AM signal with a hardwater-built radio
AM broadcasting is radio broadcasting using amplitude (AM) transmissions. It was the first method developed for making audio radio transmissions, and is still used worldwide primarily for medium waves (also known as “AM band”) transmissions, but also on the long wave and shortwave radio bands. Compared to FM or digital transmissions, AM transmissions are less expensive to transmit and can be sent over long distances, however they are much more susceptible to interference, and often have lower audio fidelity. Thus, AM broadcasters tend to specialize in spoken-word formats, such as talk radio, all news and sports, with music formats primarily for FM and digital stations.
We will build an AM Radio receiver by creating a custom circuit consisting of capacitors, diodes transistors, resistors, an inductor, antenna, and headphones.

Exhibit #2: Listen to a “HAM” radio broadcast
Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into spaces, all without the Internet or cell phones. It’s fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
Demonstrate tuning a shortwave reciever

Exhibit #3: Listen to an FM Signal with a software built radio
Every time that we listen to the music on the car radio above between 80-110 MHz, our radio receiver performed a demodulation of a Frequency Modulated (FM) signal. Frequency modulation changes the frequency of a transmitted signal over time to reflect the data being transmitted. In the diagram we show an example of x(t) that we want to transmit at a high frequency. To do that, we use FM to change the frequency of the carrier wave to increase/decrease with our radio signals x(t). Notice how when the x(t) wave is above the green increases and how when it’s below, it decreases.
We will build a FM radio receiver in the GNU Radio Companion to listen to our local FM radio stations. To do this, plug your RTL-SDR USB peripheral into your computer’s USB port. This USB stick reads the information from the radio antenna, amplifies and filters the radio waves, and then passes the data to the computer for processing.

Exhibit #4: Focus Photons with a Parabolic Dish
As their name suggests, satellite dishes catch electromagnetic signals from satellites that transmit your favorite movies, sports matches, or whatever other programmed you like to watch. You can think of these signals as arriving from space in the shape of parallel rays. When these rays hit the satellite they are reflected, just like light is reflected by the mirror. The shape of the dish ensures that, if the incoming rays are parallel to the axis of symmetry of the dish, then they all meet at a single point once they have been reflected. This point is called the focus (or the focal point) of the satellite dish. A receiver placed at the focal point will pick up the information from all the rays entering the dish at the same time.
Demonstrate focusing light under the parabolic dishes.
