Hello everyone my name is Ranger Dave and welcome to St Croix National Scenic Riverway.
Todays virtual tour of our visitor center, is our Junior Ranger exhibit.
Now in order to become a Junior Ranger and earn this "Badge" and this "Patch". You must complete this Junior Ranger activity book.
Now this Junior Ranger activity book has over 20 different exercises like,
"Scavenger Hunt Bingo", "Mussel I.D", "Animal Tracks and most importantly the "Junior Ranger Pledge".
Now one of the items we have here at the visitor center that you can come in and sign out for the day, is our Junior Ranger backpack.
Now this contains all the necessary tools you need to help complete your Junior Ranger activity book.
Now one of the most important things a Junior Ranger must know how to do; how to wear a life vest.
Now everyone under the age of 13 is required to wear a life vest at all times.
Your gonna get a life vest similar to this but your gonna make sure that it is Coast Guard approved.
Your gonna get one that actually fits you, one that's not too tight but is actually snug
Your gonna zip it up at all times, check your straps. Now your ready to go on the river. Who's coming with me?
Now if your unable to stop by the visitor center and would like more information on how to obtain your Junior Ranger booklet and badge.
Please visit our website at www.nps.gov/SACN, we'll make sure to get it out to you.
Carry on Junior Rangers.
