The Junior Ranger Program is a super fun opportunity to engage your children in your park visits and grow their excitement for discovering, exploring and learning about our national parks and other public lands. Click here for a detailed blog explaining the Junior Ranger Program.

There are junior ranger programs all across the United States and its territories. Almost every National Park has one, plus they’re available at many US Forest Service sites, State Parks, US Fish & Wildlife sites and more. You can use our Junior Ranger Finder to locate the ones near you.

Our signature product is the Ranger Trek Expedition Journal – A scrapbook where you can preserve all of your memories from your junior ranger adventures that you’ll want to remember for years to come. We also offer the exclusive Ranger Trek Club patches to commemorate the number of junior ranger programs you’ve completed as well as a variety of apparel, stickers, tote bags, posters and more. Check out our Shop!

The Ranger Trek Club Patches are a great way to reward your Junior Rangers for their hard work completing all those junior ranger programs. The club patches let your Junior Ranger show off how many junior ranger programs they’ve completed. Plus they help give your Junior Ranger a goal to complete more junior ranger programs to get to the next Ranger Trek Club Patch level.

Yes, we do sell our products in many of the National Parks. We aren’t available in all the parks quite yet, but we are expanding to more every year!

The simple answer is all people of all ages are welcome to participate in the junior ranger program. To learn more about how to participate as a teen or adult check out this blog.
