Flight 93 National Memorial

NPS SCOUT RANGER PROGRAM

The Scout Ranger program is an official scout program in partnership with the Scouts USA and Girl Scouts USA.

Why become a Scout Ranger?
Being a Scout Ranger allows you to discover and explore your national parks. Whether you visit Flight 93 National Memorial, a historical site like Friendship Hill, or a national battlefield like Fort Necessity, we hope you will learn something about the national parks and yourself! Participants in the Scout Ranger program can earn a certificate or a patch.

As a Scout Ranger, you will:

• Learn about the mission of the National Park Service.
• Help protect the nation's natural, cultural, and historical resources.
• Explore and learn about your national parks.
• Achieve unique recognition from the National Park Service.

3. Please download and use the activity sheet to track your hours and activities.
4. EMAIL the Learning Center Coordinator to inform the Friends that you have earned your PATCH/CERTIFICATE and make date/time arrangements to receive your award at Flight 93 National Memorial!
