What is a junior ranger?
A junior ranger attends ranger programs, completes activities in a workbook, and promises to take care of National Park Service sites like Grant-Kohrs Ranch NHS. It is a great way to explore, learn and have fun in the park. When you are a junior ranger, you can teach others how to care for and protect special places like this.

Grant-Kohrs Ranch tells the story of the open range cattle business. So, instead of becoming a Junior Ranger children between the ages of 5-12 will have the opportunity to become a Junior Rancher here! 

How do you become a junior ranger?
A free Junior Rancher booklet is available at the Visitor Center. Or you can download it from home before your visit to the park. It includes activities to complete during your visit at the ranch. Complete the required activities and attend a ranger program. Then, take the completed booklet to any National Park Service ranger who will check your answers, sign your booklet, and award you with your official Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site Junior Ranger badge. It is possible to upgrade to our Junior Ranger patch at a cost of $1.50.

Stop by the Visitor Center for more details.
