9 thoughts on “NPS: 350+ Direct Links to Download Junior Ranger Program Booklets So You Can Earn Badges From Home!

    1. Hi Karina! Each park’s book or direct web page should have the address listed to send it in for your badges and certificates.

      If you don’t see what you are looking for, feel free to tell me which books you have ready to go, and I’d be happy to get those addresses for you!

      Addresses can often be listed on the first or last page of the Junior Ranger booklet itself, but they aren’t always there. So, some can definitely be easier to find than others!

  1. I could not find any booklet for The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Can you help? We are traveling to Gatlinburg, TN on April 10-16 and we are bringing our 6 and 7 year old Granddaughters. We would love to begin this program with them at all National park we travel to during their childhood.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi Tina!

      The GSMNP Junior Ranger Book is one of the few books you do actually have to purchase inside the park. Last time we were there, the books were $2.50 each. They do come in a few different age levels. They have a 5-6 year old book, and a 6-7 year old book. During non-covid times, they require attending an actual Ranger led program in the park, and picking up a bag of trash in addition to completing the book, to earn a badge. I’m not sure what the additional requirements are currently. I have both books with me, and if you were interested, I could possibly photograph the pages and email them to you. If you would like, you can email me at spgfamilyadventurenetwork@gmail.com. If I hear from you, I can send the pages to you so you can at least read through them and get an idea!

      Good luck! And safe travels!

  2. Where do I send the great lake booklet I don’t see an address

    1. There are 7 Great Lakes National Parks. Check out the list at this link:

      https://www.nps.gov/subjects/oceans/great-lakes.htm

      If you have a preference as to which one, I’d suggest giving them a quick call to make sure they have the badges in stock, and then submit the books according to their preference. Most do want the books mailed in, but some might just do pictures via email.

      Thanks!
