Click on this map to find Junior Ranger Programs across the US. We created this map so you won’t miss out on any opportunities to become a Junior Ranger wherever your Ranger Trek takes you. Each pin on the map shows you exactly where your next Junior Ranger book, badge and adventure is waiting.

Below are lists of National Park Service Junior Ranger Programs, organized by region and state, to help you plot out your next Ranger Trek. Make sure to also check the lists of Junior Ranger Programs you can find at National Trails, State Parks, US Forest Service sites, US Fish and Wildlife sites and more. Just click on the name of each Junior Ranger Program on any list to take you to a blog with all the specific details of each program as soon as each blog is posted. Look for new blogs with the Where, What, and How of each Junior Ranger Program to be posted regularly. Enjoy your next Ranger Trek Expedition!
