Welcome to Rockwatch, the UK’s nationwide club for young geologists. It is the junior club of the Geologists’ Association – the UK-based Society for amateur and professional geologists and earth scientists.
Rockwatch is the club for children and young people who are interested in things geological – rocks, fossils, minerals and landscape. Our activities are aimed at junior members under the age of 16 and for older young people between 16-18 years old.
Vision
Our vision is for Rockwatch to inspire young people to study, interpret and understand planet Earth and its processes.
Mission
Rockwatch is the nationwide club for young people that engages, informs and encourages them to explore the Earth sciences through its programme of field trips, magazines, practical sessions and competitions.

My godson loved being a member of Rockwatch so thank you for giving him joy with the products and information.
Can I also say on behalf of Olivia & indeed myself how wonderfully the virtual festival was put together. Thank you to everyone at Rockwatch and outside contributors for the time and effort put into it.
Thank you for all your efforts in organising the Rockwatch virtual participation in the Festival. It was excellent.
Thanks again…kids really enjoyed the challenge and the virtual festival
Many thanks, it was very well done and very educational (not least for me), I was especially pleased by the saltworks video as I remember going there on a school trip myself and had hoped to take Peregrine for a visit this year but of course, have not been able to.
A huge thank you to you and all involved for a great event. Louis loved it!
My son Nikolas (age 12) is already a Rockwatch member, he really enjoyed the Challenge and will be delighted to get a badge.
Thomas really enjoyed all the stuff happening at the festival so thank you for that.
I did the quiz with my granddaughter who is a Rockwatch member aged 8.
Thank you for running this, as it filled an empty day with some fun and learning which was much appreciated.
Thank you!

I love fossil hunting and the events give you access to places normally closed for the public.
It is really great fun and I love collecting fossils and learning about dinosaurs
It is a really fun thing to be a part of
I get to do stuff that I wouldn’t be able to do otherwise and collect fossils.
I get to visit places most people can’t visit like quarries
It is a great way to learn about Earth’s history and go to great events
All of the field trips and activities are great fun
I love being outdoors and climbing to get fossils
I get to go on field trips and find fossils and minerals
