JR Ranger

The Junior Ranger program is an educational initiative for children aged 5 to 13, designed to engage them in learning about the natural, cultural, and historical resources of national parks and protected areas. Through completing various activities and taking a pledge, participants earn a Junior Ranger badge or patch. Offered by many parks worldwide, each program features unique, site-specific activities aimed at fostering a love for nature, educating about conservation, and inspiring future generations to protect and preserve the environment. The program combines fun, learning, and stewardship to build a lifelong connection to nature.
