Railroading Merit Badge Workshop

Saturday, May 17, 2025

10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

For Ages 11-17

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is the perfect setting for boys and girls involved in scouting to earn the merit badge in railroading, working with historic artifacts and model trains.

This day-long workshop features various railroad-themed activities, including tours, demonstrations and a G-scale model railroad simulation.

All requirements are fulfilled in a single day (there are no prerequisites). A unique Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania “Railroading Merit Badge” patch is an extra reward for participants who complete the workshop with us.

Scouts must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Every effort is made to adhere to the schedule and BSA policy, so please arrive on time. Space is limited. The workshop is capped at 25 scouts and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

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. The ticket packs as listed are firm. Please note that we cannot change the ticket packs.

No memberships, discounts and/or coupons apply to fees for the workshop. Registration is required and is guaranteed when payment is received. No refunds.

Lunch is on your own.

Scouts are asked to wear class "A" or "B" uniforms.

Actual merit badge patches must be provided by the participant’s troop or council.

Frequently asked questions

Will there be a lunch break?

Yes. Scouts are on their own for lunch and we will take a 1 hour lunch break around noon. Participants may leave their lunches and personal belongings in our auditorium where they may take lunch later. Alternatively there are several local options for food as well.

Where can I find more info on other workshops or museum events?

Events page on our website here. https://www.rrmuseumpa.org/programs/events

Are non participants or extra children allowed to accompany the workshop?

The museum is open to the public during the badge. Extra guests will have to purchase a museum admission at the front desk. As an official merit badge we ask non registered guests to be mindful of the participating scouts so they can earn their badge without disruptions or crowding smaller spaces.
