Today's National Park Week theme is Junior Ranger Day!
I love the junior ranger program! In fact, before having children, I would ask for the junior ranger books and complete it. I love the activities and learning all the fun facts and information about each unique national park site! My children have enjoyed earning their badges at various sites now too!

The photos show my children earning their badges at Yellowstone National Park and at Kenai Fjords National Park. 🙂
"Explore. Learn. Protect" – This is the Junior Ranger motto is recited by children around the country; each taking an oath of their own to protect parks, continue to learn about parks, and share their own ranger story with friends and family. The NPS Junior Ranger program is an activity-based program conducted in almost all parks, and some Junior Ranger programs are national. Interested youth 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.
Have you ever earned a junior ranger badge? If so, which park?
Happy National Park Week!
