The "U.S. Park Ranger" badge continued to be worn only by law enforcement rangers. Badges for other positions were discussed in 1940 but put on hold until after World War II. By 1946, there were seven different badges. In addition to the round badges and the gold chief ranger badge, distinctions were made between park rangers and park guards, wardens, and guides. The park guide badge was discontinued in 1956.
