Glacier National Park is a wild and magical place.

The Park Fun pages will help you and your family find activities to do to learn about Glacier whether you're planning a visit, or just visiting from home!

The National Park Service Scout Ranger Certificate/Patch page outlines the reward system and options for Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venturers groups visiting national parks and participating in educational or volunteer activities. Similarly, the Resource Stewardship Girl Scout Ranger Program page details the National Park Service partnership with the Girl Scouts. Volunteer and service opportunities in Glacier vary widely. Please contact the park's Volunteer Coordinator to see if there are any projects available during your group's visit. The schedule for summer, ranger-led programs can be found in the "Glacier Explorer".
