Junior Ranger Program

Children visiting Agate Fossil Beds National Monument are invited to participate in our Junior Ranger program. Participants roam the Visitor Center in search of answers to questions on fossils, geology, and the Cook Collection of Native American artifacts. When finished, the activity book is signed, stamped, and returned to the participant along with a badge signifying them as an official Agate Fossil Beds National Monument Junior Ranger.
