Become a Junior Ranger of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail!
Did you know that the Overmountain Victory NHT has its own Junior Ranger program?
With a 330-mile Commemorative Motor Route, a network of disconnected hiking trails, and a variety of site partners along the trail, the Junior Ranger book is a great way to tie your adventures together!
Just as the Overmountain Men journeyed hundreds of miles over several weeks to and from the Battle of Kings Mountain, this program is designed to be done as you are exploring the Overmountain Victory NHT however you are able to.
The booklet is available for or at some of our partner sites. Contact your local Overmountain Victory NHT partner to see if the book is available in your area.
Once completed, the booklet can be submitted three different ways for the prize:
1. Submit your completed Junior Ranger book to your local participating partner site.
2. Mail your completed Junior Ranger book to our headquarters at 338 New Pleasant Road, Gaffney, SC 29341.
3. Email scans or photos of your completed Junior Ranger book to ovvi_information@nps.gov.
This book is designed for ages 6 and up with increasing difficulty levels with older ages. Just as the Overmountain Men worked together during their journey down the trail, we encourage cooperation for the younger Junior Rangers on any activities they might find difficut.
