Adding a scrollbar to a frame using Tkinter (Python)
One of your problems, is that "frameTwo" has no limits to it's size. If you don't limit it's size, any scrollbar you add, never will act. But limiting the size of you frame have the inconvenient of limit the number of lines you can grid, making the scrollbar useless again.
A solution is creating a frame inside the "frameTwo", to receive the pieces you create. This way, by one hand, allow you to limit the size of "frameTwo" and attach the scrollbar to it, and by other hand, allow you to grid the pieces you add to the frame located inside "frameTwo", named, let's say, "ListFrame". when "ListFrame" size becomes bigger than "frameTwo" size, you can now make the scrollbar work.
I change your code with the changes mentioned above. Check it out.The changes are commented in the code. Sorry for the short explanation, but i'm a bit hurry. I may edit this answer when I have more time.
PS: Sorry if my english is not the best

You have option menus, labels, entry boxes, and checkbuttons in FrameTwo. How would you expect a scrollbar for the entire frame would work? Would it scroll all widgets at the same time? Tkinter scrollbars are generally attached to listboxes, canvases, entry widgets, and text fields. http://effbot.org/zone/tkinter-scrollbar-patterns.htm Come up with a simple example that illustrates the problem for further help.
