Smokey Bear's Junior Forest Ranger Kit and the Smokey the Bear Song prepared by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" public service campaign that highlighted Smokey Bear. The kit included a Junior Forest Ranger membership card and certificate, Smokey Bear stamps, the song sheet, and an official photograph of Smokey. The cover letter was signed with Smokey's signature and paw print. The "Smokey the Bear" song sheet consisted of the score and lyrics written by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins in 1952.
