It's too bad, because spending so much time earning Junior Ranger badges by mail is one of the main factors in developing my older kid's deep love for national parks. I'm giving her the grownup version, a national park stamp collector's book, for her nineteenth birthday this summer. juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-89405704846808873822023-06-10T13:23:39.051-04:002023-06-10T13:23:39.051-04:00This looks great but when I clicked on the first o...This looks great but when I clicked on the first one you had linked in the intro, it said you could only print out the badges unless the kids came in personally.

I have access to a double-sided printer, but even if you don't, that cuts down on a LOT of trees being killed. (Looking directly at you, Katmai, with your 36-page book!) With 3 kids, sending 108 sheets of paper is kinda crazy, but still cheaper than the flight to Katmai (which I SO WISH that we could do!)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461831725847839558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-6969911311740776632022-04-28T10:36:26.336-04:002022-04-28T10:36:26.336-04:00It looks like you can also earn the Manassas Natio...It looks like you can also earn the Manassas National Battlefield junior badge from home!

One of these recommendations was to create a system for being able to earn junior ranger badges without requiring a trip to the Visitor Center at the end. She was disappointed when our schedule didn’t allow for that and she had done the work but couldn’t get the badge. Her letter was forwarded the regional director in charge of the junior ranger program. He was kind enough to write back and indicated that several of her suggestions would be considered. I am so happy to see that this is true.
