BSA Railroading

Cost: $25 per scout, $15 per chaperone

This merit badge workshop is open to any youth in grades 6th – 12th grade and is designed to help BSA scouts meet requirements for the Signs, Signals, and Codes merit badge. We will be covering requirements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

Scouts are responsible for the following pre-requisites: 7. Scouts must create at least a 1-mile trail for a patrol or troop to follow that includes at least six different trail signs and markers. After Scouts have completed the trail, follow no-trace principles by replacing or returning trail markers to their original locations. Scouts can write a short report about completing the requirement and should include pictures showing each trail sign and marker used for counselor approval.
