Rail Camp @ NC Transportation Museum Registration

Boy Scout troops will set up camp on the 57 acre property of the NC Transportation Museum on 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.

Cost for the event will be $35 which covers the actual event cost and all three meals on Saturday.  Scouts will need money to stop and get supper on Friday on the way to the event and on Sunday morning for Breakfast/Lunch on the way back home.

Additional details like departure time and return time are yet to be determined and will be released later.

Scouts must register and pay using the troops online registration and payment system no later than October 26th using the link below.
