PA Dept of Agriculture Announces Junior Ranger Program

Members News

Starting June 10, 2024 through the Department of Agriculture, the Junior Ranger Program at Grey Towers National Historic Site will commence. Children of all ages can participate in this free program. Children will be given a workbook with activities to be completed on the grounds. After the child finishes the activities in the workbook such as scavenger hunts and conservation-based questions, they will have the opportunity to be sworn in as a Junior Ranger at Grey Towers NHS. The Junior Ranger will then be given the official prestigious wooden Junior Ranger badge. The Junior Ranger program is designed to encourage children to appreciate nature and be more aware of the world around them.

Junior Ranger workbooks can be found at our Visitor Center starting at 10:30am and completed workbooks can be given to staff by 3:00pm on museum tour days. Children must be present to receive a badge.
