Are you ready for your Junior Ranger adventure to begin? Becoming a Junior Ranger is a special honor and there are some responsibilities that go with it.

  • If you come by plane or on your own boat: visit a ranger and the exhibits in the Visitor Center on the second floor of Glacier Bay Lodge.
  • If you come by cruise ship: look for someone wearing the badge and the ranger hat! Cruise ship children's centers offer a Junior Ranger Program over the course of the cruise. While in Glacier Bay, rangers present a special program to aspiring Junior Rangers.
  • If you come by tour vessel: meet with the ranger on board to learn about Glacier Bay.
  • If you are a virtual visitor: start learning all sorts of cool stuff about this national park right here.

First pick up or retrieve a Junior Ranger booklet. By completing the steps and presenting your work to a ranger, you can earn a nifty Junior Ranger badge. The world can always use another Junior Ranger!
Porcupine  

Did You Know?
With sharp incisor teeth, porcupines chew away at the bark of spruce trees in order to reach and eat the cambian layer just under the bark. Heavy wear and constant use prevent their teeth from growing too big.
