Partnership Launches Statewide Initiative for Child Safety

In a move aimed at targeting child predators and promoting child safety, the Northern New Jersey Council, Boy Scouts of America has joined forces with AMBER Ready, Inc. to educate parents regarding child safety and provide them with the tools they need. The two organizations entered into a partnership and are launching “Operation Safe Scout”. AMBER Ready will be conducting safety events that provide education on child safety and abduction along with digital fingerprinting, photographing and child profile information for children placed on a CD for parents to keep. Amber Ready, Inc. provides the first and fastest wireless Police Emergency Notification System for placing missing and abducted children on alert with law enforcement authorities.

“The Boy Scouts of America have been leaders in ‘Youth Protection’ for nearly 20 years with high quality training for Adult Volunteers, Parents, and Youth in protecting their members from predators” says Kenyon Sandy, Director of Field Service and COO of the Northern New Jersey Council, Boy Scouts of America. “Offering its membership further protection through the AMBER Ready program can serve as a ‘win-win’ for everyone”.
