Be a Junior Ranger
The Junior Ranger program at Washington State Parks aims to ignite a love for nature and the outdoors early in a child's life. Through booklets completion and acts of service, kids can earn their Junior Ranger pin and other fun collectibles.
Calling all kids ages 4 and up! Do you like exploring parks with your family? Do you want to learn more about nature?
Become a Washington State Parks Junior Ranger!
The Junior Ranger program is a fun way for youth and families to explore Washington's state parks. This self-guided program encourages families to discover the natural and cultural wonders of Washington through fun exploration, games and creative activities.
To become a Junior Ranger, ask for the free Junior Ranger Booklet at one of our participating state parks. Kids can then complete the booklet to be sworn in as an official Junior Ranger. Then, completing acts of service will earn our Junior Rangers more pins and fun items.
