A group of Boy Scouts of America make their annual pilgrimage to the gravesite of Theodore Roosevelt. Some are seen marching in a procession, carrying U.S. flags. Daniel Carter Beard, Scout Commissioner, is helped up the steps by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. and others. Beard lays a wreath. Footage of President Roosevelt speaking is superimposed over his headstone. A number of other brief segments follow, including young men and women posing for a photograph, a man and a woman talking, and a large number of people–mostly children–exiting a house.
