Spring Break ideas - Get your Junior Ranger Badge! Tucson, AZ
Are you looking for something fun to do with the kids this spring break?! Head to a National Park and get their Junior Ranger Badge! It is a super cute way to get the kids staying active and learning about new things & importantly learning how to respect nature! We were vacationing in Tucson, Az and visited Saguaro National Park. 🌵🏜️
Junior Ranger Badge Oath
‘As a Junior Ranger, I promise to help Care for and Protect America’s National Parks, To keep them safe and Beautiful for everyone’ 💚
Junior Ranger Badges 🌄
A Junior Ranger is a protector of the national parks! The kids always love discovering things they can do to help make sure there are always parks to visit in the future.
They learn all types of things that they can do in the parks and plenty of things they can do when they return home 😉.
Last summer Tudor actually got another Junior Ranger Badge when we visited the Saguaro National Park (👈You can check out my blog here)
My little rangers love to identify wildlife, what they need to bring when going on trails & learn to read maps! (what a great life skill!!)
This mama loves that the kids take an oath to protect the National Parks
Can you spy Tudor’s Ranger Badge? He also got a Nature Walk Badge - Proud Mama 💚🌵
