Ed, this was the first year I ever saw them at our local event, so I'm guessing these might have been rolled out differently across the country.

The passports made me smile when I saw them for the first time in March. I'm wearing the one I got at Chesapeake this year in my WAI photo which you can sort-of see behind the other badge.

Every summer while my kids were growing up, this ex-forest ranger dragged them to National Parks. The main souvenir from those years is the "Passport to Your National Parks." And the Junior Ranger patches.
The stamp looks the same, and you got your passport stamped at every park. (There are almost 400 of them!) There were stickers too. We made decisions to stop at little out of the way parks so we could get the stamps, and always ended up learning something. Great memories.

NEMO discussed this idea back in 2008, only for teams.
