Red bracelets indicate that the wearer may be feeling overwhelmed or anxious and does not wish to engage in any conversation. They may wish to explore the museum at their own pace.
Yellow bracelets indicate that the wearer may feel uncertain about interactions. They may prefer limited engagement while navigating the museum at their own pace.
Green bracelets indicate that the wearer is comfortable and open to interaction with others.

Furthermore, guests will have access to complimentary Sensory Bags. These bags, which may be requested at the front desk located in the museum store, include noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, fidget toys, sensory items, and a sensory guide. A valid photo ID will be required for the loan, which will be held by the museum until the sensory bag is returned.

Cost: $45 per scout, $15 per chaperone
*This is a workshop for a Eagle-Required Merit Badge*
This merit badge workshop is open to any youth in 6th – 12th grade and is designed to help BSA scouts meet requirements for the Communications merit badge. It is strongly recommended that participants be in at least 9th grade before taking this workshop. This badge is also being provided in conjunction with Vintage Tech Fest at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum! Scouts will have the opportunity to discover the communications technology of the Trolley Era, including antique radios, typewriters, printing presses, victrolas, phonographs, and more!
Due to the nature of this badge, it is encouraged for Scouts to complete much of the workbook and requirements ahead of time. Scouts will be required to prepare several parts of this badge (detailed below) and bring completed work and materials to the workshop in order to present to the group.
We will be covering requirements 1c, 2a, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. To meet requirement 5, we will be virtually attending a public meeting during the workshop.
As part of the requirements, Scouts will need to prepare the following ahead of time:

1c: Be prepared to share a short Scouting story (example: the best camping trip ever!) in a small group setting.
2a: Think of a creative way to describe yourself using a collage, short story, autobiography, drawing or series of photographs, a song, and/or a short skit. Prepare this at home and be prepared to use the aid you created to make a short presentation (no more than 2 minutes) about yourself.
4: This requirement involves interviewing someone you know fairly well, like, or respect. Conduct the interview before the workshop, then come prepared to deliver an introduction of the person as though this person were to be a guest speaker. Include reasons why the audience would want to hear this person speak.
6: Develop a plan to teach a skill or inform someone about something. Prepare teaching aids ahead of time and bring them with you to the workshop and be prepared to share with the group.

Scouts are fully responsible for the following pre/post-requisites: 3 and 8.

Requirement 3 asks that Scouts to write a five-minute speech and give it at a meeting.
Requirement 8 has Scouts plan a troop or crew court of honor, campfire program, or interfaith worship service. This must be approved by patrol leaders’ council. Scouts must write a script, prepare the program, and serve as master of ceremonies. Please bring in photos, videos, and/or documentation from Scout leaders, etc. to show completion of these two requirements.
