Hi Erin
I agree with the previous posting. We run an extensive badge program
here at the Academy and we do offer the Webelo Geologist badge. Try to
get in contact with your local councils too. We have a good relationship
with both our local Girl Scout and Boy Scout council. We often go to
their events to promote our workshops and they advertise to their
members. Also--scouts are very concerned about meeting the requirements
of their badges; they do take it seriously--so the more specific your
badges are, the better. I would be happy to talk to you further.

Hi Andre,
In terms of scout programs, the badge requirements are setup by the
Boy
and Girl Scouts of America--check out their websites for more info.
FYI,
you do need a certified instructor for all merit badge programs--you
can
get the paperwork online or through your local council.
