Boy Scouts going to Washington to meet Bush
OMAHA — A group of Boy Scouts who were at a camp hit by a deadly tornado will get to meet President Bush in Washington at the end of the month.
The Boy Scouts of America Mid-America Council says the trip is for the Scouts who attended the leadership camp in Little Sioux, Iowa. Four boys were killed when a tornado struck the camp June 11.
The camp is about 40 miles north of Omaha, and many of the Scouts are from Nebraska.
Boy Scouts representatives say the visit to Washington is July 30-31, and includes a tour of the White House.
The Boy Scouts say it will cost $1.8 million to rebuild the camp.
