Junior Ranger Pinning Ceremony

Junior Ranger Badges

Our inaugural class of Portage Park District Junior Rangers was officially commissioned by Park Ranger Michelle Lee on August 12, 2023 at Towner's Woods Park. These enthusiastic youth spent all summer learning about our local flora and fauna and the Portage Park District. They completed all of the activities and adventures in the Junior Ranger Booklet and pledged to uphold the mission of the Portage Park District.

If you know a future Junior Ranger that would love to join the ranks of these youth, there is still time to complete the 2023 Junior Range Booklet to receive the official Portage Park District Junior Ranger Badge. Learn more about the Junior Ranger Program and download your own activity booklet!
