That's really nice of you to stick around and support the other den like that! ::internet high five::
I loved this adventure. Another tip... for the rock testing, the book encourages families to make their own mineral test kits, which is fine if they happen to have panes of glass and loose ceramic tiles just laying around. Odds are they don't, so I just recommended to my families that they purchase this kit from amazon.
At $15 each, it was too expensive for me to justify buying for everyone, but not crazy expensive that the families couldn't afford it. And if anyone can't afford it, just buy one for the den and let them share it.
Also here's a post where I got some decent info on rock identification from r/geology. The most important thing I took away from that post was that rock identification is HARD! We emphasized the most important part was learning the process, even if we couldn't get a good name for rock. And there were 1 or 2 we couldn't identify for sure--but practicing the process was fun.
