Led by Kitimu, the lion who teaches the bush

The On-Demand Junior Ranger Course turns curiosity about animals into a real conservation adventure. Every lesson opens with a mission from Kitimu the lion cub — a warm, wise guide who calls your child “Ranger” and leads them deeper into the wild.

Across 14 modules, young rangers explore the living planet: weather and the night sky, mammals, birds, frogs, reptiles, insects, trees, and the art of tracking. Each topic blends a short video, a hands-on game, a printable activity, and a real outdoor mission — so learning leaves the screen and heads into the garden.

As they go, kids collect Ranger Stars and unlock module badges, building toward their full Junior Ranger qualification. It’s screen time that sends them outside, looking closer at the world around them.

Real learning, real fun

Grounded in genuine ecology and conservation, taught the EcoTraining way — the same bush knowledge behind our guide courses, made playful.

Learn at your pace

Fully on-demand with lifetime access. No timetable — rangers complete missions whenever it suits your family.

Good to know

Parent questions

What age is this course for?
Designed for explorers aged 7 to 11 to complete largely on their own. Younger children (from around 4) can enjoy it with a parent, thanks to the built-in audio narration.
Do we need any special equipment?
Just a tablet, laptop or phone with internet, and a printer if you’d like the worksheets. Outdoor missions only need a garden, park or a short walk.
How long does the course take?
There’s no time limit. Most families enjoy the 14 modules over a few months at a relaxed pace — and you have lifetime access.
What does my child get at the end?
Ranger Stars and a badge for each module along the way, plus a Junior Ranger certificate on completing all 14 modules.
