Becoming a Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers NM Junior Ranger

The park's Junior Ranger program is back! We have a fresh supply of badges and the booklet is available at your visit.

You can also get one mailed to you in advance, just e-mail us requesting a booklet. You can then mail it back to our P.O. Box or bring it with you on your visit to receive your Junior Ranger badge.

Once we receive your quiz, a ranger will review it and then we'll send you your badge along with some Jr. Ranger goodies! Good luck and we can't wait to add you to our park's Junior Ranger ranks!!!
