Children may earn the Junior Ranger badge by completing part of the Junior Ranger Activity Booklet. You can get one free of charge at the park visitor center. After you complete several activities, bring the booklet back to the park visitor center to get your badge!

Children can earn the Hot Springs National Park Junior Ranger patch by doing four activities at a special park event or activity. This might be a nature walk or special summer program. The ranger guiding the activity will have a sheet telling what you need to do to earn the embroidered patch.
