Tyler Nordgren Looking for adventure? The Park Fun pages will help you and your family find activities to do to learn about Glacier whether you're planning a visit, or just visiting from home! Our Junior Ranger pages will give you a taste of the activities and requirements to become a Glacier Junior Ranger. Come and Explore Glacier! The National Park Service Scout Ranger Certificate/Patch page outlines the reward system and options for Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venturers groups visiting national parks and participating in educational or volunteer activities. Similarly, the Resource Stewardship Girl Scout Ranger Program page details the National Park Service partnership with the Girl Scouts. Volunteer and service opportunities in Glacier vary widely. Please contact the park's Volunteer Coordinator to see if there are any projects available during your group's visit. Generally, completing the park's Jr. Ranger program (4-8 hours); going on an interpretive walk with a ranger ( 1-8 hours); or participating in a Glacier Institute Class (3-8 hours) all work toward fulfilling the program requirements. The schedule for summer, ranger-led programs can be found in the "Ranger-Led Activities Schedule". |

Grizzly bears in the park have a wide variety of food sources, including glacier lily bulbs, insects, and berries. They may also make an early season meal of mountain goats that were swept down in avalanches over the winter.
