Junior Ranger program delights many

By GINA KINSLOW
Glasgow Daily Times

Pennings’ mom, Mary, thinks the Junior Ranger Program is a great idea.

“They get these wonderful books. They have to do all kinds of activities,” she said. “It teaches them all kinds of things. It just teaches them about the environment.”

Approximately 300 national parks in the U.S. have Junior Ranger Programs.

“Our program goes back several decades, but it was being sold through Eastern National and there has been a big push to get the Junior Ranger Program free so it is available for everyone,” Price said.

Mammoth Cave applied for a grant through the National Park Foundation in order to be able to offer the program to visitors free of charge.

“That enabled us to actually publish the books and purchase the badges that the children receive once they’ve done all the requirements,” Price said.

In June, the national park printed more than 500 books. They are available inside the visitor’s center.

“It’s very fun. The kids love it. The parents love it. The rangers love it,” Price said.
