What is a Junior Ranger?

"Explore, Learn, and Protect!" The Junior Ranger motto is recited by children around the country; each taking an oath of their own to protect parks, continue to learn about parks, and share their own ranger story with friends and family.

The NPS Junior Ranger program is an activity based program conducted at Cane River Creole National Historical Park.

Interested youth complete a series of activities during a park visit, share their answers with a park ranger, and receive an official Junior Ranger badge. Junior Rangers are typically between the ages of 6 to 13, although people of all ages can take part. Younger Junior Rangers can check out our coloring pages.

Junior Ranger booklets are available at Oakland Plantation; ask a staff member for a booklet. You can become a Cane River Creole Junior Ranger even if you are unable to visit the park. Download or email a request that a junior ranger book be mailed to you.

Return the completed book and we will mail you the badge. Please note the new mailing address for Cane River Creole National Historical Park is:

PO Box 925
Natchitoches, Louisiana 71458.


Please email us if you want to scan and send the book. For more activities visit "For Kids"!
