The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is the perfect setting for boys and girls, ages 11 through 17, who are involved in scouting, to learn by working with historic artifacts and model trains.

The day-long workshops feature various railroad-themed activities, including tours, demonstrations and a G-scale model railroad simulation.  All requirements are fulfilled in a single day.  A unique Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania “Railroading Merit Badge” patch is an extra reward for participants who complete the workshop at the Museum.

Scouts must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The workshops are capped at 25 scouts each and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.  The cost of a 2 pack ticket — 1 individual scout and 1 accompanying adult — is $24.00, and a 4 pack ticket — 3 individual scouts and 1 accompanying adult — is $54.00.

On-site and virtual site railroading merit badge workshops for the remainder of the year will be scheduled and announced by the  Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania at a later date.
