Scouting America and Random House Children’s Books have officially released the book trailer for George Goodwin, Dragon Slayer: A Scouting Legend. The story follows a young Scout on a journey that blends fantasy, adventure, and the values that have shaped the Scouting movement for more than a century.
The trailer features early endorsements from Bear Grylls, Max Lucado, and Mike Rowe, along with early media attention from People and the New York Sun. It is a high-energy preview of a story built around courage, character, and determination, and it arrives just one month before the nationwide release on May 5, 2026.
The goal behind this project is simple – to inspire the next generation to think bigger, imagine more, and see themselves as the heroes in their own stories. If this book sparks even one young reader to believe they are capable of more than they thought, it will be worth it.
