We try to find National Park Junior Ranger programs whenever we travel because we all learn so much from them. And LMS gets to collect cool little pins :) Our trip to Boston was no exception. While we were in Boston we helped LMS complete three more Junior Ranger programs. There's more available, but we didn't have time to hit them all. You can see more pictures and links taken at each site in this post.
The first one was at Minuteman National Historic Park. This one was pretty easy and didn't take too long to complete, and we learned a lot.
The second Junior Ranger program was in Salem. This was a little more difficult to finish since not everything was open because it was the off-season, but we were able to figure out all the answers. This one focused on the shipping history of Salem (not the witches!), so it's too bad the Friendship wasn't open for tours, though we still learned a lot.
The final Junior Ranger program was actually a two-in-one: one pamphlet for Boston (the Freedom Trail) and one for Bunker Hill/Charlestown Naval Yard/USS Constitution. We completed the pamphlets for each, and I think they were both a bit more detailed than the previous two we did. So they took a bit more thought and exploration to complete. That's not a bad thing, but by that point we were starting to run a bit low on time. They only have one Junior Ranger pin for Boston, so because she did both programs she also received a Junior Ranger patch.
She's up to 11 pins now (starting top left and moving clockwise):
Canyonlands, Zion, Wright Brothers
Arches, Grand Teton, Grand Canyon
Boston, Shipmate (Salem), Yellowstone
Minute Man, Mount Rushmore
