Junior Rangers is a fun way for children ages 6-12 to explore North Carolina's state parks with their family, scouts troop or youth group. They:
- Explore: Junior Rangers have fun at state parks! They follow park rules to stay safe and so the natural resources are here for the future.
- Learn: Junior Rangers teach their family and friends what they learn about the park and how to take care of it.
- Protect: Junior Rangers help park rangers take care of the park's natural resources.
Earn all Junior Ranger patches by visiting each state park.
