Scout Rangers
The National Park Service/Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Resource Stewardship Scout Ranger (Scout Ranger) program is a new, NPS-tailored certificate/patch program for Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venturers. It is designed to increase scout visitation to national parks, promote a better understanding of the NPS mission among scouts and their families, educate young people about their responsibility in conserving our natural and cultural resources, encourage volunteer service and promote good citizenship.
For program elements and certificate/patch criteria, go the National Park Service website http://www.nps.gov/gettinginvolved/youthprograms/boyscouts.htm
This NPS/BSA program is a component of the umbrella initiative BSA Good Turn for America. This initiative encourages young people to "Do a Good Turn Daily" (special thoughtful acts of kindness), help other people and participate in community service projects.
