Yes, GIA has programs available on the Carlsbad campus for Boy Scouts that focus on geology, mineralogy and gemology. The Geology Merit Badge Series program is available to scouts ages 11 -14 while the Geology Belt Loop and Pin Series program is geared for scouts ages 8-10. A Jewelry Merit Badge program is available for Girl Scouts ages 9 and up. The program teaches about earth science exploration and how to design a piece of jewelry.
