Celebrate Junior Ranger Day at the Preserve

The preserve celebrated Junior Ranger Day on April 25, 2009. Children of all ages and Mission Valley Cub Scouts Pack 114 visited the preserve to complete a Junior Ranger booklet and Leave No Trace Scavenger Hunt. Upon completion the children earned a Junior Ranger badge, certificate, and patch with a special awards ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Junior Ranger activities are available every day. Just ask a Ranger for your activity book.

Join the fun and be a Junior Ranger Today!
