On April 28, aspiring Junior Rangers of all ages came to John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site to help celebrate National Junior Ranger Day. The culmination of National Park week, this event invites families to explore the special places right in their own backyard. Working with the Park Rangers, young visitors explored the future president's birthplace. During their exploration, they learned what life was like in 1917 and the challenges the young JFK faced.

Once their findings were approved, they were formally sworn in as Junior Park Rangers at John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site. Junior Rangers pledged:
