How to Earn Your Certificate or Patch:
At Fort Stanwix National Monument you must participate in an educational program or volunteer service project and earn your Boy Scout Ranger certificate or patch.

To Earn Your Certificate: you must participate in 5 hours of an educational program or volunteer service project.
Once you are finished you can download your certificate at the main National Park Service website here:  
NPS Boy Scout Ranger Certificate
*Use of the certificate is on the honor system, as the certificate should only be downloaded after contributing five hours to project.

To Earn Your Patch: you must participate in 10 hours of an educational program or a volunteer service project.
Boy Scouts will be awarded a patch upon verbally reporting their completion of the program requirements to the Fort Stanwix VIP or Scout Program Coordinators at the Fort Stanwix NM visitor center.
