The Canadian Rangers have a junior division called the Junior Canadian Rangers. Open to all youth 12 to 18 years old, the program teaches traditional skills, life skills, Ranger skills, traditional culture and lifestyles in remote and isolated communities of the North. With traditional and life skills included in the curriculum, the community can infuse cultural norms, local language, regional skills, and social needs into the program. It all happens in a fun, friendly and safe environment! JCRs make a valuable contribution to their communities and become active, responsible citizens.

New C-19 rifles have been delivered to Canadian Rangers participating in Operation NANOOK. The Rangers will have the opportunity to test the rifles in the harsh and challenging northern climate and provide feedback. Following testing, and any necessary design amendments, the new C-19 rifles will be phased into use for all Canadian Rangers between 2016 and 2019. #StrongProudReady
