Visiting the Park In Person?

We invite visitors of all ages (everyone's a kid at heart!) to become official Junior Rangers of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Pick up a free Junior Ranger book at any park visitor center.

Complete all the fun activities about the park's history, animals, plants, and geology during your visit. Then, review them with a ranger at any visitor center. The ranger will stamp and sign the back of your book, swear you in, and give you a Junior Ranger badge; all in person!

Unable to find a ranger in person, but you visited TRNP and completed your book? Simply mail it to us and we'll mail you back your stamped and signed book with your well earned Junior Ranger badge.
