Did you know that Scouts and Girl Scouts can earn a free patch by attending educational programs or by volunteering in National Park sites?
The scout ranger program requires a scout to complete ten hours of either educational programing (like junior ranger, ranger guided interpretive, or environmental education programs), volunteer service projects, or a combination of both. As the scout completes their hours, they fill out their log (found here). When a scout or girl scout completes their hours, they can come to a park site that carries the patches, like Carlsbad Caverns National Park, or go online to request it here.
We look forward to hearing about your work and what you learned!
