President Bush meets with a Girl Scout Brownies in the Oval Office March 1, 2004. The day after their visit a new program was announced that will soon allow Iraqi children to participate in an Iraqi Boy Scout and Girl Scout program. The history of scouting in Iraq dates back to 1921, but all programs were terminated in the Saddam Hussein era. "The reestablishment of scouting signals a brighter future for Iraq's youth and is another step forward in reconnecting Iraq with the world community," stated the White House in a press release.
