WANTED: Boy Scouts

On Saturday, April 17, OCTA is partnering with Knott's Berry Farm to offer Boy Scouts an opportunity to earn their Railroading Merit Badge at Knott's Berry Farm while learning about rail safety.

Scouts will participate in various activities that will fulfill the Railroading Merit Badge requirements, including riding on the Calico Railroad throughout the park, visiting the historical railroad cars of The Edna and The Durango and learning from OCTA about how to be rail safe.

Young men are statistically more likely to engage in dangerous behaviors around train tracks, so…this is a great opportunity for us to educate pre-teen and teenage boys about rail safety!

If you are a Troop leader or your son is a Boy Scout, please join us at the Railroading Merit Badge Day. Registration is available to the first 500 participants (including guardians and Troop leaders).
Cost is $32.50 and includes:
  • Merit badge activites
  • Delicious box lunch
  • All-day admissiont to Knott's Berry Farm
Registration ends April 9 or when 500 participants register.

Check out our flier with additional information too!
