2023-07-21 08:00 - 12:00 UTC | Alumni Adventure Complex
Regis, an American Bald Eagle, and Wendy his handler will be one of our 2023 National Scout Jamboree very special guests. He was so very popular at the 2013 and 2017 National Scout Jamborees we have invited him back.

Regis is a 15-year-old American Bald Eagle. Regis has been an educational bird from the Three River Avian Center in Brooks, WV for over ten years. The Three River Avian Center is a wildlife refuge center dedicated to conserving West Virginia’s wild birds and to educating and involving the public in ecosystem stewardship.

He enjoys interacting with visitors and he will be at the NESA Exhibit in the Scott Summit Center Action Point each of the program days in the mornings from 8:30 to noon every day except Sunday, July 23rd. Come and get your picture with a real Bald Eagle for your social media page.

2023-07-21 08:00 - 09:00 (America/New_York) | Duty To God & Country Community Space
Friday, 07/21: Helpful
Scripture
Psalm 54:4 – “Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.”
Thought for the Day
There is no better illustration of this point of the Scout Law than our own Scout Slogan; “Do a good turn daily.” You may be starting your day with these devotions. If so, be thinking even now. how you can be helpful to your tentmate, the Scouts in your unit and other Scouts and Scouters you meet throughout the day. If you are closing your day with these devotions, examine your day. Where were you helpful? Did you miss an opportunity to help another Scout or Scouter? And who was there to be helpful for you? The last question can never be realistically answered, “no one.” A person of faith is never alone. Even on our toughest days, when it seems like a helping hand is nowhere to be found, the psalmist reminds us of the constant, helpful presence of God.
David was on the run from King Saul who was trying to kill him and was hiding in a place called, Ziph. Far from helpful, some of the residents leaked the information that David was hiding among them to Saul. David sought help from the place he knew he could count on as he had many times before – Almighty God. He confidently identifies his total trust in God as his helper and supporter. Betrayal by the people of Ziph placed David in great danger, but he remained sure that God was on his side and would take his part in this situation. God would sustain him and bear him up and out of the danger. Despite any personal inconvenience it may pose, a Scout should always strive to be as helpful as possible. It is the Scout who can and should be relied upon when the going gets tough. God is our ever-present help in times of trouble. If this is an attribute of God, we ought to consider it an honor to emulate God and be helpful ourselves.
Questions for Discussion

Think about the day ahead. Can you identify in advance any ways you can be helpful above and beyond normal expectations?
How do you feel when you get help from an unexpected source? Do you think you would enjoy making others feel that same way?

Prayer
God of all help; use me today to be a source of help. Let me be the way to lighten someone’s burden and make their day more pleasant, even memorable. May I be always reminded that as You help me every day, I honor You by helping others. A Scout is helpful. Amen.
