What is a Junior Ranger?

A Junior Ranger is an individual dedicated to the protection and preservation of America's National Parks. They explore the nation's beautiful and significant historic and natural resources, learn about history and nature, and share that knowledge and their adventures with friends, families, and schoolmates. By spreading that knowledge, they are furthering the preservation of our nation's natural and historic resources.
