IRVING, TX (December 3, 2025) – Scouting America is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Prepared Hero, a leading provider of innovative personal safety tools and education, to further empower youth across the country with essential life-saving skills and preparedness training.
This collaboration brings together two organizations deeply committed to equipping young people with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to thrive in any situation.
The initiative will roll out nationwide beginning in mid-December, with the launch of the Scouting America/Prepared Hero special-edition Emergency Fire Blanket. A portion of the proceeds will support Scouting’s century-long mission to build confident, prepared leaders who protect and serve their communities.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Scouting America to inspire a new generation of everyday heroes,” said TJ Papp, Prepared Hero president. “Our goal is to make safety second nature, and there’s no better audience than Scouts – young leaders who are already committed to service and preparedness.”
This partnership underscores Scouting America’s ongoing commitment to youth development through character-building, leadership, and real-world skills. By integrating Prepared Hero’s resources into Scouting programs, both organizations aim to foster a culture of proactive safety and community resilience.
