Eisenhower National Historic Site
Junior Secret Service Agent Program
Kids with living historian portraying Secret Service agent.

Junior Secret Service trainees testing their powers of observation with assistance from Special Agent Olsen (our site living historian).

When you visit Eisenhower National Historic Site, you can discover what it was like to be a Secret Service agent by doing the self-guided activities in the Junior Secret Service Agent Training Manual. The Manual is provided free to anyone ages 7-12 who visits the site with their family.

Some of your assignments will include:

  • Using binoculars to locate suspicious persons and objects.
  • Questioning suspicious looking individuals.
  • Reporting to the Agent-in-Charge on the radio using code names and correct procedures.

If you have what it takes to complete the activities, you will become an official Junior Secret Service Agent and be awarded the Junior Secret Service badge and certificate.

You can also become a Junior Secret Service agent at home by completing our ON-LINE JUNIOR SECRET SERVICE MANUAL.
