 When tens of thousands of Boy Scouts from all over the globe get together every four years for this jamboree You'd expect them to get in plenty of boating fishing and other outdoor activities But this year there was something new added to the agenda space You could see it reflected in the jamboree patch in the campsites named for us spacecraft and In a variety of activities brought here by NASA the NASA exhibits really cool I did a report on the all the Apollo programs in high school and there's a lot more information here than I ever got All this space stuff is great. I like it. It's really interesting It gives a gives a chance to the scouts and parents and visitors a chance to see really what's going on in addition to what you read in the newspapers and magazines, but to physically see things like the Freedom space station freedom is slice of it. What it's like inside type of environment things like that NASA and the Boy Scouts organization say they have some important things in common Both think it's vital that young people in this country get early exposure to American technology It's hoped that by meeting NASA scientists and engineers plus astronauts like Bruce McAndless These scouts will take a greater interest in school subjects like science and math These scouts brought a world of questions about space to this jamboree NASA brought some of its brightest people to provide some answers to talk about the potential of space and To help scouts earn a space in aeronautics merit badge or two NASA officials here say this was a learning experience for them as well They got a glimpse into the future and a chance to meet perhaps the next generation of American space explorers This is Mike Errington reporting from the Boy Scout national jamboree near Fredericksburg, Virginia And you're supposed to hang out with one hand and when you're ready reach the other hand and you're at it and grab a tight one with your legs
