Junior Ranger Program...take two!

The visitors at Shenandoah National Park are awesome! I did another JR program and had about 25 people in attendance. Before I started the program one little boy asked me, "Is this gonna be like boy scouts?" Yep, I told him. It sure was like boy scouts that day. It was a cloudy day and I told the group that we would continue unless it began to thunder. Well, it didn't thunder , but it began to sprinkle.By the time we got into the meadow it was pouring down rain. The kids were great they just wanted to keep going because they wanted to get their JR badges. The wind began to blow and we were all dripping wet. I offered to finish the program under the canopy at the visitor center. The group said that it would be okay to do that as long as they could still get their JR badges. Everyone seemed happy and had a good time. I tallied this as a success!
