Junior Ranger Program

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Junior Ranger Programs are activities prepared especially for 5-12 year old visitors to the properties of the National Park Service. Participation is recorded in prepared booklets or newspaper which can cost up to $3. After completing the specified amount of pages for his/ her age group, the participant is awarded a patch, badge and/or certificate, unique for each park.

Emphasis is given to introduction to the natural and urban highlights within the parks.

[edit] Participating parks

All United States National Parks participate in the Junior Ranger Program. Also many state parks also have a program but some things differ from the National Park Service program.
