What is a Junior Ranger?
You can become a Junior Ranger at many of the over 390 National Parks! A Junior Ranger learns about the parks and promises to protect these great places for everyone. At Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River, you can become a Junior Ranger by completing the activities in either of the two Junior Ranger booklets.

The Junior Ranger River Safety booklet can be downloaded and completed before visiting the park.
The finished booklet can also be mailed to the park and a badge or patch will be sent to you.
