What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreGus loves that nature is full of surprises! He’s amazed by tall trees to climb, muddy trails to stomp through, and all the critters he finds—especially scorpions and bugs. He says nature feels like a giant playground where he can explore, pretend he’s a dinosaur, and be wild and free.
Gus’s favorite animals are cheetahs, scorpions, and dinosaurs. He loves cheetahs because they are super fast, scorpions because they look cool and tough, and dinosaurs because they were giant and ruled the earth. He says they’re all awesome in their own ways!
Gus’s favorite outdoor activities are swinging high on his tree swing and making big splashes jumping into the water. He loves the feeling of flying through the air and getting soaked—nothing beats the thrill of swinging and splashing on a sunny day!
