Junior Ranger patch

If you visit the park in person during the summer months, we have a Roanoke Ranger program that comes with a great patch (shown at left) for your jacket or book bag. When you arrive at the Visitor Center, ask for the Roanoke Ranger workbook.

Remember, the National Parks belong to all of us. Now that you're a Junior Ranger, you have a special responsibility to try visit each and every one in person (after all, cyberspace is nice but nothing beats the real thing.) There are almost 400 of them, so you better get started!

Did You Know?
Contrary to folklore, the potato and tobacco were never introduced as true discoveries by Sir Walter Raleigh or his explorers. These were known to people in England by the 1580s due Spanish traders.
