Henley, founder of the ScoutTrek app, connects with Jody Rood, owner of AERT (American Emergency Response Training), to explore the Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge — one of the most essential badges in the Scouting America program. Together, they discuss every requirement, share real-world insights, and explain how Scouts can be better prepared for any situation.
Jody’s professional experience in emergency response training brings valuable perspective to Scouts, Adult Leaders, and Scoutmasters working toward or teaching this badge.
