Troop 2000 and Troop 270 will be attending the Mid-Iowa's Railroad Merit Badge Camporee, April 28 - 30, 2023 at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Boone, IA. Scouts will rotate through program stations staffed by professional railroaders, model railroad builders and other volunteers who will offer instruction on the various parts of the Railroading Merit Badge. As a feature of the event, each participant will take a ride on the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, which will take participants over the highest interurban bridge in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The event will also include an optional religious service, campfire, and other activities. Every participant gets an event patch. Before heading back home on Sunday, Troops 270 & 2000 may potentially have the opportunity to earn BSA’s Historic Trails Award by following the Kate Shelley Trail.
