Scouts earn railroading badge

Posted

PIKE COUNTY, PA — Boy Scouts from both Shohola Troop #76 and Matamoras Troop #77 participated in a railroading merit badge program held recently at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Lancaster County. The day-long workshop featured various railroad–themed activities that included hands-on interactions with museum artifacts, a G-scale railroad simulation, a railroad technology and car tour, and multiple demonstrations. The Scouts also had an opportunity to ride on the Strasburg Railroad. The multi-faceted purpose of this badge is for the scouts to learn about the history of railroading, its place in modern society, careers in railroading and hobbies that are related to railroading.
