What is a Junior Ranger?

You can become a Junior Ranger at many of the over 400 National Parks! A Junior Ranger learns about the parks and promises to protect these great places for everyone. At Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, you can become a Junior Ranger by completing the activities in the four Junior Ranger booklets.

The Junior Ranger River Safety booklet is recommended for ages 8-12, but parents are encouraged to work with younger kids on the activities.
