Great new partnership with Girl Scouts & National Park Service!

🍀 Are you a Girl Scout looking to discover national parks and want to build your leadership skills?

Check out the National Park Service Girl Scout Ranger Program and earn a newly redesigned patch upon completion of the program! This is a partnership with the National Park Service Youth & Young Adult Programs and Girl Scouts.

As a Girl Scout, you can earn a recognition certificate and a special patch for completing 10 hours of service in national parks as a participant in the program. You can also complete your Gold Award project at a national park too.

There are many ways to participate, including:

🤠 Ranger-guided interpretive tours

🤠 Junior Ranger programs

🤠 Any other official NPS education program (campfire program, ranger-led hike, etc.)

Learn more about how you can get involved at https://www.nps.gov/subjects/youthprograms/girlscoutranger.htm
