Scouting Events

Calling all Scouts,

both near and far!

Are you looking for a unique badge, patch, or belt loop experience for your Troop or Pack? Look no further, as the N.C. Transportation Museum offers four exciting scouting events each year. See below for more information about our upcoming events for 2024 and 2025!

A Merit Badge Counselor will be on-site for our 2024 Scout’s BSA Rail Camp and 2025 Scout’s Aviation Day. When applicable, our counselor will be available to sign off on blue cards for each merit badge once all classes have been completed and all requirements have been satisfied.
