Junior Ranger Booklets  are available at the park's visitor center or you can print yours online ahead of time. Activities include writing, observing wildlife, and learning about desert safety. Upon completing the Junior Ranger Guide, Junior Ranger candidates must return to the Kris Eggle Visitor Center where their Guide will be reviewed by a ranger. Once the review is completed they will be sworn in as official Junior Rangers. They will also receive a free badge and signed certificate.
