Scouts
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum offers programs for both Girl Scouts and Scouts BSA (formerly Boy Scouts of America)! These workshops fulfill Scouting requirements, but are also open to non-Scouts of the appropriate age. Admission to the museum is included with the purchase of any merit badge workshop. Merit badge workshops are taught by certified merit badge counselors. Click below to see what merit badges are currently being offered!
Check out our 2024 Winter/Spring Scout Schedule below!
Are you or your Scout troop interested in a merit badge workshop but the date and time don’t work for you? We also offer Private Scout Workshops! Click the button below for more information.
