National Park Travelers Club
This is a club of people from around the country
who visit National Park Service sites and get
their Parks Passports stamped with the
cancellations from the sites. Many parks have
more than one cancellation. They may be
located at different parts of the park. There are
two types of Parks Passports: a small version
and a large version. The large version is in
looseleaf format so you can add more pages
as it becomes necessary. Parks Passports
can be purchased at the park sites.
In early 2005, I bought a Parks Passport and
started collecting the cancellation stamps. I
have also joined the National Park Travelers
Club. Their Website has lots of information.
They keep a Master List of cancellation
locations so that you know exactly where the
cancellation stampers are located in each park
site. There are also lists of people who have
visited more than 100 National Park Service
sites. Every year the Club gives awards to
members who have visited a certain number of
park sites. Also, there is a bulletin board where
you can exchange information.
Some of my cancellations are displayed on my
page "Passport Cancellations."
I highly recommend that you visit the National
Park Travelers Club's Website.

National Park Service
The National Park Service is the unit within the U.S. Department of Interior which
manages our nation’s national parks, monuments, memorials, recreation areas,
battlefields, etc. Officially it has 391 sites, and some sites have sub-units within
them. The National Park Service also helps manage national rivers, trails, and
heritage corridors and areas, and provides assistance to affiliated sites. You can
obtain Junior ranger badges, patches, or pins at most National Park Service sites --
some in person, some by mail, and some either way.
The National Park Service maintains a large Website where you can view pages
and sub-pages for each of its units. On the pages for each individual National Park
Service site, you can access information about the site, photos, and travel
directions. For those National Park Service sites which will let you mail in their
Junior Ranger booklet to earn the badge or patch, the individual site's Web page is
very important as it will provide you with a lot of the answers to the questions in the
booklet.
On their Web site, you can look up individual sites’ pages by state or
alphabetically. Also, you look up information by category, such as history or science.
The National Park Service also has a program called WebRangers, which
consists of fun online games about national park sites. You will earn a patch if
you complete all the activities. Click here to link to WebRangers.
