Badges

By Maelle

“I’m so excited to get the badge! I love earning badges! Just one more page to do!”

At each National Park or historical site, my sisters and I do the Jr Ranger program. We get a little book and if we finish the book we get a Jr Ranger badge. So far we have gotten 12 badges on this trip. The books have activities and challenges to complete. I like the drawing pages and the crosswords the best. Sometimes we have to go to a Ranger program and learn about one small piece of the park. My favorite ranger talk was with a ranger in Zion National Park. She taught me about Bob the Boulder who broke off a cliff during a heavy rain.

I have also used my own spending money on two Jr Ranger things- a hat and a vest. I put most of the badges on my hat. Some have to go on my vest. I also like buying pins and patches for my vest.

I hope to earn a couple more badges before we get home. National Parks are so fun!
