NPS Scout Ranger Program

[EagleG 10]

Took the family on vacation recently to the Grand Canyon and N. Arizona. While researching some of the parks we would visit, I found this program on the NPS site. My son had fun completing it (Cub Scout -Wolf). Thought I would pass it along.

This is a great idea for the younger children. It is obviously related to the existing 'Junior Ranger' program that is offered to both boys and girls but expands the opportunities to additional qualifying activities for scouts. My daughter did this back in the '90s in Yellowstone. She still cherishes that experience and the memories of being 'adopted' by a wonderful young female park ranger. She still has the Junior Ranger patch. Plus it was a fun way for our family to tour the park while she worked on the requirements. Thanks for the link. I'm going to post it again so it shows up 'hot': http://www.nps.gov/fosc/forkids/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=165372
