Explore. Learn. Protect.The Junior Ranger motto is recited by children around the country; each taking an oath of their own to protect parks, continue to learn about parks, and share their own ranger story with friends and family. Become a Dayton Aviation Heritage NHP Junior Ranger!Becoming a Junior Ranger is a great way for your child to explore national parks. It’s also a great way for the entire family to learn more about Dayton's National Park and about the National Park Service. Visit the park today and join a growing group of kids who are interested in the world around them and involved with their nation's heritage. Upon completion of the required activities in the booklet, each participant can receive a Junior Ranger badge at each location and have an official park ranger sign their certificates of completion.
