New Junior Ranger Programs Now Available at Pearl Harbor

World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument is excited to announce that two brand new, updated versions of the Junior Ranger program are now available! The Keiki Ranger Activity Book (for ages 3-6) and Junior Ranger Scavenger Hunt (for ages 7-12) have been created to reflect the new scope of the Monument in addition to the changes and new exhibits at Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.

Like the original USS Arizona Memorial Junior Ranger Booklet, the new WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument Junior Ranger programs have been designed to help children embrace and enjoy learning about history. The goal is to help them make meaningful connections during their visit to VALR, which is a definite change of pace from the other activities they are probably experiencing on their visit to Hawaii!

Each booklet approaches history with a child in mind, which is the purpose of the Junior Ranger program. Junior Rangers not only earn a badge upon completion of the book, but they also learn the story of December 7, 1941 and gain an appreciation for the mission of WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument.

The Keiki Ranger Activity Book and Junior Ranger Scavenger Hunt are available upon request at the NPS Tickets and Information Desk, at no charge to visitors. The programs are designed to be completed while at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Each Junior Ranger candidate should bring his or her completed book back to the desk in order to receive a Junior Ranger badge. Please see a Park Ranger if you have any questions.

Although the USS Arizona was stricken from the official register of U.S. naval vessels after the attack, on March 7, 1950, she was symbolically "re-commissioned" when a flagpole was erected on the ship.
