Be A Junior Ranger
 

People of all ages earn a patch while learning to protect resources. Those 5 to 8 years old earn the Jay Award. If you are 9 to 12 years old, work for a Raven Award. Ages 13 to 103 earn a senior patch.

You can purchase a Junior Ranger booklet in any visitor center. Follow the instructions and have fun. When you are done, bring your booklet back to a visitor center in order to receive your award.
