Scotts Bluff National Monument has a self-guided, Junior Ranger activity booklet appropriate for visiting children 5 years and older. This program is a way to introduce children—and those young at heart—to the stories of the people who have visited Scotts Bluff in the past. Full-color booklets are available at the monument visitor center and a wooden badge is awarded to those who complete the requirements. After completing the age-appropriate requirements described inside the booklet and reviewing their work with a ranger at the visitor center, participants are awarded an official Scotts Bluff Junior Ranger badge that is modeled after the badges that National Park Service rangers wear.
