After becoming a junior naturalist, kids can move up to being a Junior Park Ranger by working through a Junior Ranger Explorer Notebook. The notebooks are 16 pages long and have activities about plants, animals, fossils, geology, water resources, sounds, and stargazing, as well as ranger duties, cartography, a map exercise for Millbrook Village and a crossword.
Kids who finish the Junior Ranger Explorer Notebook get an iron-on cloth patch (above left), a pencil, and an Junior Park Ranger badge.
To become a Junior Park Ranger
1. Pick up the booklet from a visitor center or park headquarters, or contact the park to have one mailed to you.
2. Return the completed booklet to a visitor center to check your answers with a ranger and to get your patch, pencil, and badge!
