Railroading Merit Badge Day
Interested in earning your Railroading merit badge? Join in on a day activity at the Georgia State Railroad Museum. Each unit must have at least one registered leader attending with any Scouts.
This three-hour-program focuses on subject matter outlined in official requirements for the Railroading Merit Badge. Scouts that register for this program will receive a Railroading Merit Badge Workbook to be used to complete all their requirements. During this expansive program, scouts will have a chance to learn about railroad communications and railroad safety, and will enjoy an extended site tour, learning about different types of railroad revenue and railcars. Scouts participating in this program will also explore more modern railroad history and equipment, learning about the formation of Amtrak and the current state of rail travel and freight traffic in the United States. Scouts will be encouraged to take notes in their workbooks and ask questions for the duration of the program.
Meals: Bring a snack and refillable water bottle.
