Charles Pinckney has a self-guided Junior Ranger program for children 5 years and older at each site. The official NPS Charles Pinckney program is a way to introduce children—and those young at heart—to American history and their own role in preserving this history for the future generations. Junior Ranger booklets can be found at the Charles Pinckney Visitor Center (historic home) during the open season. When the Visitor Center is closed, you can get a booklet at the Fort Moultrie Visitor Center on Sullivan's Island.

After completing the booklet and having it reviewed by a park ranger at a visitor center, you will be awarded an official Charles Pinckney Junior Ranger badge! Modeled after the National Park Service patch, these badges are shaped like an arrowhead and feature the Constitution being signed with a quill.
