Junior ranger patch for Saint-Gaudens NHS
Junior ranger patch for Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. The patch depicts the obverse of the 1907 Twenty-Dollar Gold Piece.

Junior Ranger Program

A Junior Ranger program is available at the park for children. The tasks should be able to be completed during an average hour and a half visit to the park on any day of the week. When finished successfully, the child will receive a 3 in. diameter patch depicting the Twenty-Dollar Gold Piece designed by Saint-Gaudens.

*Notice*
The Twenty-Dollar Gold Piece patch is now out of circulation.  The new patch will display Saint-Gaudens' statue of Diana.  These patches are currently on order, but the park will be more than happy to send out patches to any child who completes the Junior Ranger program before the patches arrive.
Relief of Robert Louis Stevenson by Augustus Saint-Gaudens  

Did You Know?
Bas-relief is the most difficult form of sculpture. The detail is achieved by the way that light strikes the relief’s shallow surface, creating shadows that give an illusion of depth. Some of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ portrait reliefs are only 1/8th of an inch deep.
