2023 ARRL Field Day invite for Scouting Youth
Clubs:
If you are doing any in-person field days this year I'd like to invite scouting youth to visit your field day and maybe a GOTA station.
If your club is interested in having a few scouts visit, please let me know the location address and a contact email for them to RSVP.
I will be sending out a flyer to every district and council in the division to advertise field day directly to scouting youth.
Don't forget to register on the main ARRL site so you are on the Field-day map!
Scouting/Youth Flyers:
BSA Flyer - Boy Scouts of America
- http://www.kn4mdj.com/2021-ARRL-Field-Day-Scouts-Invite-BSA.pdf
GSUSA Flyer - Girl Scouts of the United States of America
- http://www.kn4mdj.com/2021-ARRL-Field-Day-Scouts-Invite-GSUSA.pdf
Next steps for youth:
For BSA suggest they do the Electricity, Electronics and then Radio Merit Badge.
For GSUSA suggest the ARRL Radio and Wireless Technology Patch.
Both programs provide a path to a tech license with a couple more hours of study, as both programs cover about 80% of the FCC tech test fundamentals.
Hams:
If you are available for field-day or JOTA, this year should be an interesting year. It's hoped everyone will have fun.
My goal is to help teach the next generation by giving them the experience and observe your field-day and invite you to our JOTA's.
If your group takes field-day very seriously and would prefer to NOT have visitors or scouts visiting please let me know and I'll remove your contact info from my list.
Helpers Wanted:
We need helpers in a number of areas.
Some willing to setup demo stations, others to teach merit badges,
others to coordinate between their club and local youth programs.

"Bringing Amateur Radio Scouting STEM programs to a half million scouts in AL, GA, FL, PR, USVI"
June 23 & 25
Scouts are invited
to visit and learn about
Radio Communications
during 2023 ARRL Field Day
ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air radio event held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June of each year, thousands of
radio amateurs gather with their clubs, groups or simply with friends to operate from remote locations,
contacting other hams, youth and scouts around the world without infrastructure.
Field Day can be a picnic, a campout, practice for emergencies, an informal contest and, most of all, FUN!
