What is a Junior Ranger?
A junior ranger is someone who visits national park sites and participates in fun activities—often using an activity book—to explore and learn about a park’s natural, historical, and cultural features. Becoming a Junior Ranger is a great way for kids and families to learn and have fun at national parks like Gulf Islands National Seashore!
How do you become a Junior Ranger?
At Gulf Islands National Seashore, kids ages 6 through 18 can receive the Gulf Islands Junior Ranger Activity Book to explore, learn about, and have fun at their national park. As a special thank you for your participation, each kid will be awarded a Gulf Islands Junior Ranger badge! Activity books and badges are available in person at the following locations:
William M. Colmer Visitor Center
Fort Massachusetts Visitor Contact Station (seasonally)
