Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine
Be A Junior Ranger
The Junior Ranger program is provided for families with young visitors (ages 8-14) who wish to explore and learn about Fort McHenry. Parents are encouraged to assist their youngsters with gathering the answers to various questions about the fort's history. Begin at the Visitor Center by watching the film, "The Defense of Fort McHenry." Afterwards, explore the Visitor Center, Star Fort and grounds. After completing the Activity Worksheet, youngsters earn a Junior Ranger certificate and badge.
