Online Classes
Welcome to Frontier Councils online learning! We make it
easy for you to take courses that are convenient for you.
Our online learning is interactive to provide you with a “learning
by doing” experience.
Experts state that online learning can create a 50% time
saving and a 40-60% cost saving compared to regular classroom
training. The biggest advantage is neither the cost nor the
speed, but rather the student's convenience in effectively
learning when they can afford the time, wherever they are.
You do not have to take Moving Away from Your Meeting
Place or Simple Overnight if your training is current.
These classes are replacing the once offered Day Tripper
and Troop Traveler.

New Online Volunteer Orientation
The new online Volunteer Orientation (both English-
and Spanish-language versions) will be the first close-up
view of the Girl Scout organization for all new volunteers.
It is designed to introduce new volunteers to Girl Scouting
and the many rewarding opportunities that Girl Scouting offers
girls and adults.
The new online orientation integrates new volunteers into
the council environment and its ways of work and, because
the basic program content of the orientation is standardized,
the messages shared throughout the council and nationally
will be consistent.

on how to navigate the orientation

About Girl Scouts: Presents the Girl Scout Mission,
Promise and Law, history, and membership requirements

support available to volunteers

Program: Presents the three keys to leadership:
