1
00:00:05,990 --> 00:00:04,230
when tens of thousands of boy scouts

2
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:06,000
from all over the globe get together

3
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:08,880
every four years for this jamboree you'd

4
00:00:12,629 --> 00:00:11,440
expect them to get in plenty of boating

5
00:00:14,789 --> 00:00:12,639
fishing

6
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:14,799
and other outdoor activities

7
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:16,560
but this year there was something new

8
00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:19,439
added to the agenda space

9
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:20,960
you could see it reflected in the

10
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:22,480
jamboree patch

11
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:24,320
in the campsites named for u.s

12
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:25,680
spacecraft

13
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:27,840
and in a variety of activities brought

14
00:00:32,709 --> 00:00:30,080
here by nasa the nasa exhibit is really

15
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,719
cool i did a report on all the apollo

16
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,480
programs in high school and there's a

17
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,000
lot more information here than i ever

18
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:38,800
got all the space stuff is great

19
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:40,879
i like it it's really interesting it

20
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:43,280
gives a gives a chance the scouts and

21
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,879
parents and visitors a chance to see

22
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:46,559
really what's going on in addition to

23
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:47,600
what you read in the newspapers and

24
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:49,680
magazines but to physically see things

25
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:51,520
like the uh

26
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:53,280
freedom space station freedom a slice of

27
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,879
it what it's like inside type of

28
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:57,120
environment things like that

29
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,680
nasa and the boy scouts organization say

30
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:01,199
they have some important things in

31
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,239
common

32
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,159
both think it's vital that young people

33
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,479
in this country get early exposure to

34
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,400
american technology

35
00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:10,080
solar wings here

36
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,720
roll out in orbit they're flimsy real

37
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:14,159
flimsy they won't even hold their own

38
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:16,159
weight up here on earth it's hoped that

39
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,119
by meeting nasa scientists and engineers

40
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,840
plus astronauts like bruce mccandless

41
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,360
these scouts will take a greater

42
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:25,360
interest in school subjects like science

43
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,560
and math

44
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:28,159
these scouts brought a world of

45
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,720
questions about space to this jamboree

46
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:32,320
nasa brought some of its brightest

47
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:34,880
people to provide some answers to talk

48
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,360
about the potential of space and to help

49
00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:39,360
scouts earn a space in aeronautics merit

50
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:40,960
badge or two

51
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:42,640
nasa officials here say this was a

52
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,040
learning experience for them as well

53
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,280
they got a glimpse into the future and a

54
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:49,360
chance to meet perhaps the next

55
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:52,320
generation of american space explorers

56
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:54,000
this is mike arrington reporting from

57
00:03:07,589 --> 00:01:56,079
