Explore. Learn. Protect. Did you know national parks offer visitors the opportunity to join the National Park Service "family" as Junior Rangers? (Don’t worry, we won’t assign you bear conflict manager duties until you’re ready.) Interested youth can complete a series of activities during a park visit, share their answers with a park ranger, and receive an official Junior Ranger patch and Junior Ranger certificate. Junior Rangers are typically between the ages of 5 to 13, although people of ALL ages can participate! Find your passion. Complete a book. Have fun! Have you or your family been sworn in as Junior Rangers? Which parks were you visiting? Image 1: Rows of Junior Ranger badges on display at @lewisandclarknps.
