Brief Description
Junior Rangers is a statewide program for 7 - 12 year olds. Junior Rangers will receive a logbook, and earn stamps and rewards along the way as they participate in programs.

Long Description
Junior Rangers will  gather at the Garfield Park Library Branch. 
 
At your first Junior Ranger program you will get a logbook and badge like the ones pictured on this page. Play games, observe wildlife, and more, all while making friends your own age in some of the best places in California.  For each activity you will earn a stamp in your logbook. And that's not all, as you go through the program, one activity at a time, you will earn some very cool rewards!

There are different Junior Ranger activity areas.  Geology, ecology, history, safety, plants, and wildlife may be some of the activity areas you will be exploring.

You can participate at one event, or all offered. You should plan to spend about an hour and a half at each activity, and you will have so much fun!
