Junior Ranger Pledge

Find a witness, raise your favorite hand, and repeat the Denali Junior Ranger pledge:

As a Junior Ranger, I will help protect Denali and other public places for everyone to enjoy.
I will acknowledge and appreciate the Native peoples who first cared for our lands.

I will respect the environment everywhere and do my best to leave no trace.
I will do what is right, I will accept challenges with courage, and
I will be kind and considerate to all.


You are now a Denali Junior Ranger. Congratulations!

Optionally, watch a video of the Denali Junior Ranger Pledge in ASL.
