Explore, Learn, and Protect! This inspiring Junior Ranger motto resonates with children across the nation, as they pledge to safeguard parks, deepen their knowledge about nature, and share their unique ranger adventures with loved ones.

The Junior Ranger Program is an engaging, activity-based initiative that invites visitors to become part of the National Park Service "family." To earn the title of Junior Ranger, participants complete a series of fun and educational activities, discuss their answers with a National Park Service Ranger, and proudly receive two official Junior Ranger badges. While the program is designed for children aged 5 to 13, individuals of all ages are welcome to join in the excitement!
