Children can participate in Fort Scott's Junior Ranger Program by obtaining a free booklet at the park visitor center. Upon completion, the child will receive a junior ranger badge and become a "Defender of our Heritage".
We have also developed a summer day camp known as the Fort Scott Trailblazer Program. Children ages 10-14 from the community participate in a series of activities spread over 5 days that expose them to the mission of the National Park Service. This program is generally held the first week of August each year.
