Frontier Girls

No. Frontier Girls is a curriculum product sold by Curiosity Untamed LLC. We sell membership subscriptions to our websites and a license to use our name and uniform. All Frontier Girls troops are independently operated by individuals or organizations that have purchased a Frontier Girls troop membership through Curiosity Untamed LLC. Each troop is an autonomous body operated and governed by a single individual, local non-profit organization, church, school, or business. These groups have purchased a subscription to our curriculum and a license to use the Frontier Girls name and logo as part of their youth programming. Frontier Girls troops may NOT be run as a for profit entity of any kind. Frontier Girls troops are not business franchises and are designed for youth education only.

Yes. Each family must purchase either an individual or family membership depending on the number of girls they have participating in the program in order to have access to the badges and content and a license to use our name and wear our uniform. The troop membership is an additional fee on the whole group (not per person) and grants access to all leader materials to any adult volunteering within your troop and also grants the group a license to use our name associated with a specifically assigned troop number. The added fee covers our cost of working with troops as they take much more communication and tracking than those participating as individual Pioneers. In exchange for the added cost, we also provide materials specifically for troops that individual girls participating on their own do not need such as a leader handbook, forms, and troop level badge tracking.

The Frontier Girls program was written specifically with multiple age groups in mind. With today’s busy schedules it is difficult to get children to the many activities they wish to pursue. For this reason, girls preschool-adult can all be part of the same Frontier Girls troop. This allows families with more than one girl to all be part of the same troop so as not to add even more stress to the family schedule. This also allows older girls to act in leadership roles to teach and mentor the younger members, while providing the younger girls with role models closer to their own age. Within the troop, girls are divided into different program levels based on their age. Flag ceremonies, songs, snacks, and troop business can all be done as a troop. Girls may be divided into different program levels to work on various badge requirements when needed though we suggest keeping them together whenever possible.

Yes. All girls who wish to participate in the Frontier Girls program, use the name, and wear the uniform, must purchase an individual or family membership. They may then either participate in a local troop setting within a registered troop, or earn badges and awards as individuals at home as a Pioneer. Troop membership is not required.

To fully participate in the Frontier Girls program, each girl will need a complete uniform. Without a vest, she has nowhere to put her badges and awards. Uniforms also promote teamwork and a cohesive group as everyone feels they are part of something larger than themselves. While we encourage all girls to wear the Frontier Girls uniform when participating in Frontier Girls activities, it is not always practical. Frontier Girls t-shirts or sweatshirts are recommended for any messy activity where uniforms may be stained or damaged.

With the invention of the Internet, a variety of resources are now literally at your fingertips. Our main website, Curiosity Untamed, (curiosityuntamed.com) is our resource website for both our Frontier Girls and Quest Clubs programs. On it you will find a variety of resources to help with badge work, ceremony ideas, crafts, meeting plans and more. If you can’t find what you are looking for, just ask! We are always willing to help locate resources on the Internet that will benefit our members. Our Facebook group called Frontier Girls Forum is a great place to ask questions and get ideas. Don’t forget to also make use of your local library. Good old fashioned books are still a great way to learn new skills and information. You can also take advantage of local people and businesses with talents, knowledge, and skills in the area you are looking to teach.

No leader can be an expert on everything their girls will want to learn about. You are welcome to take a class and learn the skill yourself first, but don’t be afraid to seek help from your community as well. We are trying to educate the girls on good citizenship. How can they learn about it if they never get a chance to see it in action? Let the members of your community share the joy of teaching your girls something by offering their own expertise. Just as the girls should be trying to make their community a better place through service, give your community a chance to make the girls better people as well.
