Rust Coin has put together a program to help Scouts earn the Coin Collecting Merit Badge. First, they will send you a packet in the mail. Then, as a troop, you will review the resources in preparation for your visit to our shop. Once there, you will complete the hands-on portion of the merit badge. You will complete the remaining requirements, look at some examples of early pioneer money issued in Salt Lake City in the 1800’s, learn what clues to look for to tell if a coin is genuine or counterfeit and finish by looking through some old coins to help fill their coin folders. There is no cost to your troop to participate in this activity. They will supply coin folders and a handful of coins to get them started. Rust Coin Scout Nights are held on the first and third Wednesday evenings of the month and are by appointment only. Your troop should arrive promptly at 5:15pm and the activity will last about an hour depending on the number of boys in your troop. Call Rust Coin at 801-363-4014 to set up your appointment! NOTE: Appointments are by troop only.
