Thanks to the three people who sent me the following great sites!
I would highly recommend Annette Lamb's Eduscapes site at
http://www.eduscapes.com
Click on the Search button at the upper right and plug in your subjects.

I've got just what you need! I was a Cub Scout den leader at the same
time I was in library school, so killing 2 birds with one stone, I did
a site for den leaders for my Government Publications class. Here's the
link to the whole site:

The Geologist Activity Badge is found here:

The links to the USGS Learning Web and the Minerals Information
Institute are probably the best. Both have amazing resources. And MII
will send you stuff for free with some lead time -- although there's so
much there to download that you might not even bother! Some of the
links on my site may be dead by now -- I made it about 3 years ago --
but most are still good, I think. Some are Alaska-oriented but most are
general.
