Become a Jr. Ranger and Jr. Trader at Fort Union

Kids (and adults) of all ages can become a Junior Ranger by completing activities during a visit to the park. Follow the instructions in the activity book. When completed, return to the Visitor Center to receive your official Junior Ranger badge and, for kids 4-16, receive your "buffalo robe" for the Jr Trader Program. Jr. Trader Program Kids ages 4-16 will earn a small fun-fur buffalo robe for completing the Jr. Ranger Program. Then, using skills gained by completing the Jr. Ranger program, trade your fur for fun theme items!
