Boy Scout troops will set up camp on their 57 acre property Friday night. Saturday entails a scavenger hunt and scouts will dedicate the afternoon to earning their Railroading Merit Badge. Troops will also tour the museum and take a train ride around the museum’s 57 acres of history.

Troops will learn how a diesel-electric locomotive develops power, how to identify different types of railcars, the importance of railroad signals and railroad safety. Troops will also learn about modern railroad companies and planning a trip by rail.

Rail Camp is also a great opportunity for Boy Scouts to interact, camping alongside each other and working together to earn their Merit Badges. Flag raising and lowering ceremonies and a campfire program is also part of the fun.

The cost is $ 34.00/scouts & $38.00/adult, which includes registration fees plus food.

You can sign up on the Troop 250 website.  http://www.bsa250.org/troop250/payment/troop-activities-payment/

This is a great chance to earn a merit badge that can be difficult to earn otherwise.
