All three use the same extensive badge curriculum, but they are designed for different ways of participating.
Curiosity Untamed is the most flexible option. Families, homeschoolers, schools, classes, libraries, adults, and other groups can use the badge curriculum without joining a structured club or troop program.
Quest Clubs was created in 2010 for groups that want to build their own club around the Curiosity Untamed badge curriculum. Quest Clubs may be all boys, all girls, or co-ed and choose their own name, uniform, traditions, policies, and structure.
Frontier Girls is a structured scouting-style program for girls that began in 2007. Frontier Girls includes a required uniform, Promise, Creed, motto, community service, leadership opportunities, and its own program awards and traditions.
Families can choose the option that works best for the way they want to use the program.
No. Curiosity Untamed LLC is a for-profit company that provides educational curriculum, program materials, physical badges, and licenses for the Frontier Girls and Quest Clubs programs.
Curiosity Untamed LLC is not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
All ages. Our badges are designed for preschoolers through adults. Whether you are 3 or 103, there is always something new to learn.
Younger participants complete fewer requirements at a simpler level. As participants get older, they complete more requirements and are expected to demonstrate a higher level of skill, knowledge, and independence.
No. Our badges are 1.25-inch button-style pins or magnets. No sewing required.
Frontier Girls uses the pin version of the badges on the official Frontier Girls uniform.
For families and homeschoolers, the parent or other responsible adult decides when requirements have been completed satisfactorily.
For classes, Quest Clubs, and Frontier Girls troops, the teacher or leader determines when requirements have been completed.
After completing the requirements for a badge, physical badge pins and magnets can be purchased through the Curiosity Untamed store.
You are not required to purchase a physical badge in order to complete the badge curriculum.
Yes. Our badge program was written specifically with multi-age learning in mind.
A preschooler, elementary-age child, teenager, and adult can all work on the same badge together. Older participants may complete many of the same requirements as younger participants, but they complete additional requirements and work at a higher level of skill, knowledge, and independence.
Multi-age groups don’t need separate lessons. They need layered expectations.
This makes the program especially useful for families, homeschool groups, classes, Quest Clubs, and Frontier Girls troops with participants of different ages.
We do not sell printed badge books or handbooks. Badge requirements and program materials are available online, and printable PDF handbooks are available for members who prefer to print their own copies.
New badges and resources are added regularly, and existing materials may be updated from time to time. The online version will always contain the most current information.
Yes. You are welcome to create additional badge requirements for your own use.
If you create a badge you think other members would enjoy, you may also submit it to Curiosity Untamed for consideration. You are not required to share your original badge requirements with us.
Curiosity Untamed and Quest Club participants can display badge pins or magnets on vests, tote bags, backpacks, jackets, bulletin boards, shadow boxes, refrigerators, magnet boards, or anywhere else that works for them.
Frontier Girls badge pins and awards are worn on the official Frontier Girls uniform according to the Frontier Girls uniform guidelines.
Yes. Families and educators may use Curiosity Untamed badges to supplement other educational, homeschool, club, or youth programs, subject to the rules of those programs and the terms of your Curiosity Untamed membership.
Keep in mind that another organization may have its own rules about what can be worn on its official uniform or displayed as part of its program.
No parent, teacher, or leader can be an expert on everything participants may want to learn.
You can learn alongside them, take a class, find a knowledgeable friend or family member, or look for someone in your community who can share their expertise.
Local businesses, museums, parks, libraries, clubs, craftspeople, professionals, and hobbyists can all be wonderful resources. Part of learning is discovering where to find people who know more than you do.
Start with the resources and articles available on Curiosity Untamed. We have information supporting a wide variety of badge topics.
Libraries, museums, parks, educational websites, local businesses, community organizations, and people with experience in the subject you’re studying can also be excellent resources.
If you’re having trouble finding what you need, contact us. We’re happy to point you in the right direction when we can.
No. This is an important distinction.
Frontier Girls troops and Quest Clubs are independently organized and operated. They are not divisions, branches, or agents of Curiosity Untamed LLC.
Curiosity Untamed provides the curriculum, program materials, badges, awards, and applicable licenses, but it does not operate local troops or clubs, select their leaders, conduct their meetings, or supervise their activities.
No. Curiosity Untamed LLC does not select, screen, train, supervise, or conduct background checks on leaders or volunteers of independently operated Frontier Girls troops, Quest Clubs, classes, or other groups using Curiosity Untamed content.
Each group is responsible for its own leadership, supervision, screening practices, safety procedures, and compliance with applicable laws.
Parents and guardians should ask the local group directly about its leaders, supervision, background-check practices, safety policies, and any waivers or consent forms required before allowing a child to participate.
No. Curiosity Untamed does not conduct or require national fundraisers.
Frontier Girls troops and Quest Clubs may choose to hold their own fundraisers to support their activities. Fundraising is not required, and Curiosity Untamed does not take a percentage of money raised by local groups.
Yes. Independently operated troops and clubs may set and collect their own dues or participation fees to help cover expenses such as badges, supplies, activities, field trips, meeting space, or other group expenses.
Curiosity Untamed LLC does not set, collect, manage, or control dues charged by local Frontier Girls troops or Quest Clubs.
It depends on the program.
Frontier Girls: Yes. Frontier Girls has a required official uniform consisting of a red vest, white shirt, and navy bottoms. Frontier Girls badge pins and awards are displayed according to the Frontier Girls uniform guidelines.
Quest Clubs: No official uniform is required. Each Quest Club may decide whether it wants a uniform and what that uniform will look like.
Curiosity Untamed: No uniform is required for families, homeschoolers, classes, adults, or others simply using the Curiosity Untamed curriculum.
Yes. Both programs work well with multi-age groups.
Participants can work on many of the same badges and activities together while completing the requirements appropriate for their age and skill level.
Multi-age groups can also give older participants opportunities to practice leadership by helping, teaching, and mentoring younger members.
