They're great.

They're among the few good kids I've worked with.

I'll tell you, they're breaking into the others.

They just want to go.

And they're making...

Well, there are people that are in, and they're very dedicated.

Yeah, that's true.

It's like people that are in boys' lunch.

Yeah, exactly.

Thank you.

Mr. President, Mr. President, I'd like to meet you.

You know, Stephanie.

Well, how are you?

You're good.

Hey, Juan.

Hi.

This is Derek.

Why don't we get a little better picture?

Here we are.

Here you go.

Well, Mr. President, this is the advisory committee, and Mr. Phillips is the chairman of it, and I'm sitting in front of that, and he's taking them all outside after their own decision to go to class.

Well, I want to tell you that I don't want to have a chance to see all of you personally.

I'm sorry they all can't come in here.

But are you having a good meeting here at that?

How many of you have been in Washington before?

How many of you have been to a jamboree?

Have you had a jamboree since you've been scouted?

You know, they take over five years, you know.

I mean, probably less.

I just remember when I was in the Jamboree way back, I remember when Irvine, Atlanta, she helped our youngster try to reach the sand in 1954.

And then about 15 years later, I, you know, about five years later, I recall they had one up in Stony Fork.

It's been 50,000 scouts all year.

They light candles at the end, which is one of the most impressive things you've probably heard about in a restaurant.

But I'm certainly grateful for the leadership that you have provided for our new explorers.

How old are you?

What is all your age group here?

The oldest, how old do you mean to be?

You're 21?

You're 21.

18.

About that age group, right?

14 to 21.

Right, I'm 19.

14 to 21.

So let's give her something.

What do you have here?

Well, we...

And we're going to give them, for individual photographs and pictures that I've done, Mr. Ross.

Thank you.

Two of the leaders.

This office has the seal, the seal here, the presidential seal.

And these are the presidential complex, the seal.

So I have to give each one of you a picture.

Here.

It's completely nonpartisan.

It doesn't have my name on it.

Good morning.

There you go.

All right.

Those cities in the town, all of them, they'll send me out, Mr. President.

Right.

He and I go out.

Yes.

Yes, that's fine.

We have a pretty girl to take you out.

All right.

Thank you.

You refer to yourself as an explorer, right?

It's a branching by the way it sounds, right?

Meaning it's 7th through the 6th.

How many young ladies do you think you have with the explorers?

Well, right now we've just expanded the other half of it.

Anything that's necessary.

I don't know if that's going to be a particular function, but if it does, it's necessary.

They come out of Girl Scouts.

No, these are explorers.

Explorer.

Yes, we did the job today.

Allowing them to become these explorers.

They can't do a very deep... No, sir.

No, sir.

Yeah, what is it?

Explorers.

Explorers, that's right, of course.

I understand.

You're not really...

There's three phases of it.

The oldest, which is the sea sky, or sea expiring, which is another chain of tension, which is usually a chain.

You're one of the signals.

That's a great understanding.

Excuse me, Mr. Pressler, what's your state?

Rochester, New York.

Rochester.

I'm going to be up there in July.

We were supposed to come earlier for a regional briefing, and so we got snowed out.

So I didn't know it was going to be sometime in the middle of July or so.

I'm going to be up here.

It's a beautiful city.

There's a great golf person there.

O'Keele, when he played the, maybe you golfed with him.

No, no.

You do.

If I could just take this opportunity to explain to Bill what we're going to do, Mr. President.

We'll just go right outside the door there, and Bill will be to your left, Mr. President.

And there will be a musical fan there, an announcement, and then some other music, and you'll walk down the steps there.

Commander Campbell will direct you to the second chute.

We'll just go right up to the platform, sir.

Bill will go directly to the microphone and present you in this spot.

It's basically an appreciation of your care and gesture.

And just a few sentences and then you respond and we'll depart.

Explore.
