To accommodate the scheduling needs of members, the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri offers some courses in a home study and/or online format.
These courses provide individuals with the same basic information they would receive if they attended a classroom presentation. The home study format does not provide individuals with the interaction and feedback they would experience within a classroom.
Individuals who choose to complete an online or home study course are strongly encouraged to attend neighborhood meetings and other gatherings where they can benefit from the experiences and knowledge of other Girl Scout adults.
