The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania will offer virtual railroading merit badge workshops for boys and girls ages 11 to 17 who are involved in Scouting. The workshops will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, Dec. 27; Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025; and Saturday, Feb. 15.

These programs will allow Scouts to earn a railroading merit badge and learn through the virtual use of historic images and artifacts, model trains and behind-the-scenes tours of railroad equipment. All requirements will be fulfilled on the day of the workshop, except for the at-home requirement.

There is a fee. To register, visit http://www.rrmuseumpa.org and look under "Events & Programs" for "Summer Camps & Scouting."
