Scouts
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum offers programs for both Girl Scouts and Scouting America (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!
