What is the Junior Ranger Program? The National Park Service Junior Ranger program is an activity-based program conducted in national parks across the country. Many national parks offer young visitors the opportunity to join the National Park Service "family" as Junior Rangers.

Junior Ranger Walks and Talks 
The Every Kid in a Park initiative is aimed at providing an opportunity for each fourth grade student across the country to experience federal lands and waters in person. Students can earn a voucher by completing an on-line activity at the Every Kid in a Park website . The voucher can be exchanged for a plastic pass at park entrance stations. The Every Kid in a Park Pass gives students access to public lands and waters free of charge. 
Find out how Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts can earn a Resource Stewardship Patch and become a Scout Ranger.
