In the midst of COVID-19, limited badge supplies and reduced park staffing may affect the availability and timing of parks issuing Junior Ranger Badges through the mail.

Some programs may be limited or retired, and badge supplies might be unavailable.

If you have any questions about current badge availability, please contact each individual park directly before completing and mailing your booklets!

Patience is key right now, but most importantly, continue to enjoy these activities with your family!

Parks with a * are definitively not mailing badges out at the time of this list’s publication. You can still print the booklets and enjoy the activities, but you would need to claim your badge with an in-park visit.

Yellowstone National Park (ID MT WY)

  • Yellowstone Winter Junior Ranger – Visit Yellowstone in winter and participate in the Junior Ranger program to earn a snowflake patch. Some winter activities require the use of a thermometer and hand lens, so ask to check out a Junior Ranger snowpack. Snowpacks are available at both the Albright and Old Faithful visitor centers, and snowshoes may be checked out at the Albright Visitor Center.
