Jack Miller : YNP Junior Ranger

We took advantage of Yellowstone's free entrance week and went into the park this Saturday. When we were at the Old Faithful visitors center Jack decided that he wanted to become a YNP Junior Park Ranger and earn a wolf patch. To do this, you need to be over 5 and be able to write your name. Now, Jack is only 4, but the ranger said he could still do the program if he could write his name. Jack tried so hard, and couldn't quite write his name-but the ranger let him into the program anyways. In addition to a 15 minute video on Yellowstone, below is what Jack had to do to become an official junior park ranger.

He had to view Wildlife:



This is what he saw:


He to circle what he saw in a workbook:


He had to observe and draw Old Faithful:


He had to meet a park ranger


Receive his badges!


Jack was thrilled to be a Junior Park Ranger, but he was disappointed that we didn't see bears or Moose. But when we turned into our driveway we saw.....

MOOSE!

  1. Please ask Jack:
    When I visit you in Island Park in July, will you be my park ranger and lead me on a walk in Yellowstone National Park? I am so proud of you, Jack! xo!
