Steps to earn your Junior Ranger patch
Step 1: Pick up a booklet at a Minnesota state park on the map below.
Step 2: Complete five or six booklet activities to earn six points.
Step 3: Bring your booklet to a state park ranger station or visitor center to collect your Junior Ranger patch.
Step 4: Re-use the booklet as a coloring book.
Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome to participate in the program. There are two booklets to choose from:
"Junior Ranger: Search for Superpowers" is designed for ages 6 and up.
"Junior Ranger: Get Curious!" is best for ages 9 and up.
To complete the program and get a free Junior Ranger patch, visit a Minnesota state park. If you are making a special trip to a park to receive your patch, we recommend calling the park prior to your visit to make sure that staff will be available.
Both the booklet and the patch are free. We do not mail out booklets, but you can print your own. The front and back cover are full color, so be sure set your print properties to save ink.
Contact Jenni Webster, 651-539-4504 if you have questions about the program.
