We Were Prepared

Never before told stories of how Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts were mobilized for emergency services during the Texas City Disaster of 1947; the deadliest industrial accident in American history. After a ship loaded with 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded, officials immediately requested the assistance of Scouts because they were trained to follow the Scout Motto, "Be Prepared." Scouts as young as twelve years old were involved in rescue efforts while braving choking fumes and dodging hot shrapnel from exploding fuel storage tanks.
