Junior Canadian Rangers offers young Canadians in remote and isolated communities across Canada a unique opportunity to participate in a variety of fun and rewarding activities in a formal setting. Under the supervision of the Canadian Rangers, these young Canadians (ages 12 to 18) become active and engaged citizens of their local communities.

There are currently more than 2,700 Junior Canadian Rangers in 95 remote and isolated communities across Canada. By March 2008 , the number of Junior Canadian Rangers is expected to more than double to 3,900 members.

Junior Canadian Rangers are easily recognized by their green sweatshirts and ball caps.

The aim of the Junior Canadian Rangers is to promote traditional cultures and lifestyles by offering a variety of structured activities to young people living in remote and isolated communities of Canada.
