Brian B. Roanhorse What is a Junior Ranger?Junior Rangers can be thought of as potential Park Rangers in training. This nationwide program is designed to not only familiarize children with the duties and responsibilities of a park ranger, but also to spark an interest in the whole family for the resources and stories each National Park Service area preserves. How can you become a Junior Ranger?At Bryce Canyon National Park, our Junior Rangers must successfully complete two tasks:
Upon completing these requirements, Junior Ranger candidates must return to the Visitor Center where they will be inducted as Junior Rangers and receive a free badge. Other unique Junior Ranger souvenirs are available for purchased from the park bookstore. 
Becoming a Junior Ranger is a mark of distinction. These special badges that are issued cannot be purchased or otherwise obtained except through the dedication of the child and the support of his or her parents or guardians. Parents wishing their children to become Junior Rangers should plan to allocate 3-6 hours of their Bryce Canyon visit toward the completion of this program.
